State transition condition based on a field value of parent

Omkar Rajale

Hi,

I have a select list field "Epic type" on epic which has some values like architecture , development ,etc. Some stories are linked to these epics.

Currently I have constraint in the story workflow which restrict stories from moving into "in progress" status until Sprint field is filled.

What I want is, to make this sprint optional on story which are linked to epics having types as "Architecture".

Is it possible?

Hi @Omkar Rajale , if you are asking if you can make your condition optional in your workflow based on the associated parent having a specific field value, then the answer is no at least natively. What you could do is have a different issue type for your stories associated to architecture, Epics. Then you could have a different workflow for those architectural story types.

OK Understood. Thanks

Hi @Omkar Rajale

It is quite complex, and you would need an app for that. It can be done with a custom Jira expression-based validator. There are several options available on the Atlassian marketplace.

I am from Forgappify, and we developed Jira Expression Validator, which is part of the Workflow Building Blocks for Jira free app.

I think the expression you need is something like following:

issue.parent && issue.parent.customfield_xyz?.value == 'Architecture' 
   ? true 
   : issue.sprint != null

Which allows the transition if the story is part of the Epic (has a parent) and a custom field is set to 'Architecture'; otherwise, a sprint is required.

You need to change the ID of the custom field to a valid one. In the editor start typing the name of the Epic type field, you will get suggestions with the correct value.

I am leaving a link to the app's documentation if you are interested.

Cheers
