Jira Automations - Only allow Epics to be set to done once all child tickets are done

Felix van Walbeek

Dear all,

I know that there is already a lot regarding this issue in place. But I always find it with a sligtly different logic and need to do it a bit differently.

I would like to only allow EPICS beeing moved to done in case all child issues are already in a done statuscategory. Furthermore I would like to comment on the EPIC that is trying to be moved to done. In the simple branching logic the comment would always post on the child issue. Also I am not sure on how to transfer the EPIC back to its previous state. 

Thanks already in advance

Hi @Felix van Walbeek , is this a Team or Company managed project? If CMP, have you considered using a Validator in your workflow transition to done? Here is an article that discusses this. How-to-prevent-closing-an-Epic-until-all-its-tasks-are-completed
