Hi @Anush Chatikyan

What would be the relationship between issue A and B in your case? I'm not sure if I understand correctly. Do you want to validate against a specific issue key?

Beside the Linked Issues Validator, Workflow Building Blocks for Jira comes also with Jira Expression Validator, where you can build your custom expressions using Jira Expression language.

If you can elaborate more about details of the case you want to solve I will try to help you build the expression you need.

Cheers

Hi @Anush Chatikyan

If you are open to using apps and looking for a ready-to-use solution. We've developed the Linked Issues Validator available as part of the Workflow Building Blocks for Jira free app. With a wizard-like UI, you can select options that represent your case and get it done very quickly.

I would also consider using status category instead of statuses.

I hope it will help.

Cheers
