block parent task completion based on subtask?

[John Howell]

In Jira Software it is possible to modify workflow such that tasks cannot be marked done unless all subtasks are also done (ref: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-sub-tasks/)

I can't see a way to do this within Jira Work Management within the standard Team project transition settings.

Does anyone know if it is possible to create this dependency on subtasks in JWM?

Hi Srinivas ,

There might be many better ways to do this , but according to me the easiest way would be to create a groovy script validator(requires script runner plugin) which checks the 2 customfield if there is a value in first customfield and not in the second, then an error message which will prompt to fill the second customfield. And add this validator on the create step/transition.

Hi Mizan,

Sounds like apt solution for my requirement. Appreciate if you could share some links or steps related to this requirement as i have no idea about groovy script validator configurations.

Thanks..
