Hi All

I am on Jira 6.1 with the latest version of plugin JIRA Misc workflow extensions.

The plugin provides a post function - Transition linked issues.

I add this post function to my workflow transition however when i test it it does not work. Any ideas whether it is a bug with plugin or is it something i am doing wrong.

PS:

- I confirmed the workflow i made change on is associated to my project (and my issue)

- I confirmed that the two issues are linked together with the correct issue link type

- I tested the post function both with giving parameters of transition ID and transition name.

Rahul

What about this note:

Also note that the triggered transition (in the linked issues' workflow) should not be associated with a transition screen (which would not be displayed), especially if it includes required fields.

If you want to trigger an existing transition that normally uses a transition screen (such as the "Resolve Issue" transition), you should clone that transition, name it differently, remove the transition screen, and finally add the "Hide Transition" workflow condition so that this new transition remains hidden from users. And then trigger that new transition instead.

Hi

I found out that the transition in the target (linked) issue will be triggered only if the user transitionning the source issue has the permission in the target issue project to perform that transition. That may be the cause for you.

How can i get my jira to automatically set the same status on linked issues. e.g 1 issue updates to closed, the linked issue will also be set to closed.. tried everything :(

Can you confirm that there is no condition in the linked issue that prevents the issue from being transitioned
