Hi,
We are using jira cloud.
I think so we have build in workflow condition for this for sub tasks but our hierarchy is
Initiative
MBI, Sub Service
Epic
We would like to check each child issue types to be closed/done before the parent issue is closed
Here we have MBI as parent of an Epic
We need to prevent the MBI from being able to transition to complete unless all of its children are either in done or closed status.
Please anyone can help me with this.
Thanks,
Geethanjali.
Hi @Geethanjali S J @Frederik Hellstern
There is no out-of-the-box validator that can do this, but it can be accomplished using Jira expression-based validators provided by some apps. There are several options available on the Atlassian marketplace.
I am from Forgappify, and we developed the Linked Issues Validator available as part of the Workflow Building Blocks for Jira app. With a wizard-like UI, you can select options that represent your case. You can choose relations from: sub-tasks, parent issues, stories and children (includes all types of descendant issues), and linked issues. Additionally, you can filter relations by issue types and select criteria based on status category and status.
I would appreciate it if you could give it a try.
Cheers
You can try out Sub-Task Blocking Condition (definition: Condition to block parent issue transition depending on sub-task status)
More other conditions can be found on Configure advanced issue workflows.
If you want the other way (block child issue to transition depends on parent's status), then you can use Parent Status Validator. Reference: Configure advanced issue workflows Use workflow validators for company-managed projects

Actually that is not working for our requirement.

Epic
Here MBI is parent we are creating Epic under MBI by giving parent link.
