Is it Possible to narrow down Linked Issues Condition to a specific issue type

Question

I am currently using the below expression to check if a linked issue has been set to done before the workflow allows the issue to move to the next step in the workflow. // Check all linked issues of a certain link type are at certain status issue.links .filter(l => l.type.inward == 'To be done with') .every(l => l.linkedIssue.status.name == 'Done') I now need to clarify the check so that it only prevents the issue from transitioning if a specific issue type is linked with the 'To be done with' link type and that linked issue is set to done. I will admit Jira expressions are not my strong suit and so would appreciate any assistance Kind regards Michael

Hi Floating Electron

The above works in testing when i run the script tests before applying to the workflow but is still not working in practice.

I think you're on the money though so I am going to look elsewhere to see if something else is allowing no compliant issues to get past even though the script should be preventing them.

Thanks for your assistance.

If you require that the link must be of issue type: "Task" and status "Done", then: issue.links .filter(l => l.type.inward == 'To be done with') .every(l => l.linkedIssue.status.name == 'Done' && l.linkedIssue.issueType.name == "Task" ) If you want to check only the status of links with the issue type: "Task", then: issue.links .filter(l => l.type.inward == 'To be done with')
.filter(l => l.linkedIssue.issueType.name == "Task") .every(l => l.linkedIssue.status.name == 'Done' )

Hi Floating Electron.

While this seems close from my basic understanding of Jira expressions, when I use it, it is allowing the issue to transition regardless of what issue types are linked, and what the status of those issues are.

So it works for letting issues move forward, but it is not preventing issues that don't meet the criteria from transitioning.

My old expression would check link type and if the linked issue was done, I was hoping to expand this so it would check the link type, if the issue is a particular issue type, and if it was set to 'Done'
