Condition to transition story only if epics in certain state

[Deleted user]

Hello there,

I am looking to put a condition in my story workflow that it could transition only if the parent Epic is in certain state. Let's say story cannot move from In Progress to In Development until the parent Epics move to a certain status. Can someone give me a pointer for this.

Hi Pratiyush

if you have JIRA Workflow Toolbox 

you can use

https://bitbucket.org/fcarmario/jira-workflow-toolbox/wiki/condition-validator/Condition%20and%20Validation%20on%20Linked%20Issues

Condition on linked issue:
At least 1 and no more than 1000 issue links with the following characteristics: 
  - Issue link types: has Epic.
  - Linked issue's issue type: Epic.
  - Linked issue's status: In Progress.
  - Linked issue's resolution: any 
  - Linked issue belongs to same project as current issue. 
About the rest of issue links: 
  - Unselected issue link types are not allowed. 
  - Unselected issue types are not allowed. 
  - Unselected statuses are not allowed.

if you are using Agile Simplified Workflow, you may hide Story having its Epic in restricted status using JQL

{{issuefunction in linkedIssuesOf("filter = 'DTJIRA Epic Closed'", "is Epic Of") AND issuetype = Story}}

where DTJIRA Epic Closed is a filter name
