Rule to just allow on Status transition if one specific sub task status is set on "done"

[Benedikt Heiss]

Hi together,

I´m currently working on a jira automation rule to just allow on issue type to access the following status if the subtasks or one specific subtask of the parents issue is set on "done". 
Can anyone provide me with footage or an explanation of how to do that? 

many thanks! 

regards,

Benedikt

Hello @Benedikt Heiss 

Can you show us the automation rule you have constructed so far, and tell us which part you are struggling to complete?

Can you walk us through the scenario you are trying to handle? Use example issue keys and explain which issues are the parent issues and which are the subtasks, and which subtasks belong to which parents.

Hi @Trudy Claspill

I´m trying to display an onboarding Process in Jira Work Management. Every issue is an employee who has to be onboarded in different steps/statuses. Every status has specific subtasks that are generated automaticlly e.g.  "Create Accunt xy" and assigned to Person Z. Know i would that the issue can just move on to the next status, if every (or if possible specific) subtasks are set on "done" (screen is in German so done = Erledigt). I have a separated workflow for the subtasks for just setting them on "in work" or "done"... 

Hope you could understand my problem,

many thanks

Restricting the status an issue can be set to must be implemented through Workflow modification. You can't use an Automation Rule to prevent an issue status change.

For issues in a Company Managed project, you can add a Condition to a workflow transition to prevent access to the next status. There is a built in Condition to specify that all Subtasks must be set to one of a specified set of statuses.
