Prevent Workflow Transition to Done if Linked Issues "is blocked by" are not Done using scriptrunner

[Christina Hiller]

Problem:

Prevent the workflow transition "Done" from showing up if there are any "is blocked by" linked issues that are not "Done"

Scenarios:

In this scenario, I DO NOT want to see an option to move the Story A status to "done"

• Story A  (current status=in progress)
• is blocked by Story B (current status = done)
• is blocked by Story C (current status = to do)
• relates to Story D (current status = to do)

In this scenario, I DO want to see an option to move the Story A status to "done"

• Story A  (current status=in progress)
• is blocked by Story B (current status = done)
• is blocked by Story C (current status = done)
• relates to Story D (current status = to do)

Attempted Solution:

In the workflow, I've added a scripted condition, however the "Done" status is still an option for the user and I'm able to complete the "Done" transition. 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink

def linkType = ["is blocked by"]

def linkMgr = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()
for (IssueLink link in linkMgr.getInwardLinks(issue.id)) {
if (linkType.contains(link.issueLinkType.name)) {
if (! link.sourceObject.resolutionId) {
passesCondition = false
}
}

}

I used this link as my reference. https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/5.0.2/jira/recipes/workflow/conditions/all-dependent-issues-resolved.html 

Any advice ??

I think your error is here:

link.issueLinkType.name

this will return "Blockers" or whatever name you have for the link type. Not the directional name.

For that, you want  

link.issueLinkType.inward

 So try

if (linkType.contains(link.issueLinkType.inward)) {...}

This should result in the Done button being hidden.

Thanks for the help!  Your suggestion worked like a charm!

The final...

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink

def linkType = ["is blocked by"]

def linkMgr = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()
for (IssueLink link in linkMgr.getInwardLinks(issue.id)) {
if (linkType.contains(link.issueLinkType.inward)) {
if (! link.sourceObject.resolutionId) {
passesCondition = false
}
}

}

Came across the same issue, can this be done via new Automation? If yes how? 

[Ivan Ferreira]

Yes. It can be done with automation, but there is something that you need to consider. For this rule to work with automation, must be a multi-project rule. Multi-project rules have execution limits according to your suscription plan. If you are on a standard plan, you only have 1.000 executions, and this rule will be executed every time a issue is resolved.

The rule would be something like this:

• Condition on linked issues
• Link type: is blocked by (and others you use)
• Condition: Some match the specified JQL
• JQL condition: status not in ("RESOLVED", "CLOSED", "CANCELLED")
• Rule restricted to project: "Project A, Project B... (or all projects)"

How does your automation "Prevent Workflow Transition to Done" if it's executed after the issue has already been resolved?

[Priya Raman]

Is the same possible without script runner add-on?

Or can I add a condition using jql instead of the pre-canned options?
