Hey community 👋We're having a workflow rule that a parent issue cannot be moved to done unless all sub-tasks are resolved. Idea behind this is that the team should resolve sub-tasks first.
Now one could challenge this rule in the first place but that's not my question :)
My question is rather if it's possible to apply the resolution of a parent issue to sub-tasks when a user wants to move the parent issue to done (for example because it's no longer valid) and thus wants to apply that to sub-tasks, too.
What is the situation right now? One needs to move all sub-tasks manually which is tedious.
The way I would implement this is to create an "Abandon" transition on the parent issue workflow that goes to "Done" status (for example,) with a post-function that sets the Resolution to "Won't Fix," "Abandoned," or something similar. Add a Condition that only allows, say Project Admins to execute and also transition the sub-tasks and set the resolution at the same time. There are a number of Apps in Marketplace that can do this kind of thing.
With built-in functionality, you could use the bulk change feature to transition the sub-tasks, but it's only slightly less manual than what you are doing now.
