Restrict Task Linkage

Question

I want to implement : For example, I don't want user link another issue with linktype is parent of for 'Work Package' IssueType. Because, any other issue type should never be a parent of a Work Package. So My idea is that I would use a live field for validation of the linked issues OR an update listener to make sure that the links don't go the wrong way. If user link issue with the linked type 'is a parent of' then will pop up an error.

If linked issuetype == Work package and linktype is 'is a parent of 'then will pop up an error ''Any other issue type should never be a parent of a Work Package."

Anyone can provide me the demo code?

Thanks a lot

Hi Mandia,

Jira does not natively have conditional issue links as you described.

But, Check out the add-on Jira Workflow Toolbox that has a the ability to add in this functionality covered in more detail here:

* Condition and validation on linked issues
