Blocker (Sub-task) blocking validator for jira cloud

Scott Federman_nptc3f

Hey all, 

I have a story which uses a sub-tsk type "Blocker". I know there is a subtask blocking condition, but that just takes away the transition button and will confuse the end user as they wont know how to progress. I'm curious if there is any option to create a validator that will block if there any blocker sub tasks and pop a warning message to the user saying "all blockers must be resolved before proceeding"

Anyone have any ideas?

Hello Scott,

Unfortunately, JIRA does not have the validator you are looking for, however, I believe this functionality can be achieved by using ScriptRunner plugin.

You will need some skills with groovy scripting to achieve it that you can find in the documentation below:

- Simple Scripted Validator Examples

Also, you can check on the answer below some examples of the script you are looking for:

- scriptrunner validation if subtasks all resolved

Let me know if this information helps.
