How to block an epic from transitioning to done/cancelled if linked tasks are not in done/cancelled

Pierre Guyénot

Hi there,

I just achieved to change our global workflow for all company runned projects concerning our task-subtask relation. Meaning that a task can`t transition to the status done/cancelled if not all related subtasks have the status done/cancelled. I used the subtask condition, which works perfectly fine.

 

Unfortunately I struggle with the exact same setting for the relation epic-task. So all linked tasks have to be in status done/cancelled to transition an epic to done/cancelled.

Is there a quick way to achieve this? Thanks very much in advance.

Cheers, Pierre

Hi @Pierre Guyénot 

It is not there, but you can have an automation triggered by the status change of the epic and check it's children. If not all children are in the done status, you "repair" the epic status with the {{triggerissue.status.fromString}} value. 

 

Not ideal, but practical,
