how do I use conditions/validation in subtask to restrict transition based on status of parent ticket

[Amir Vegdani]

how can I use conditions/validation in subtask to restrict transition based on status of parent ticket.

for e.g. until the parent ticket arrives in Testing status, the Testing subtask ticket should not be transitioned ahead.

Hi Udo, Thanks for quick revert on this. I have gone through that post and tried as well, but it still doesn't work for some reason.

Can you give us more details, what exactly is not working?

I am using below script in the conditions of build subtask to restrict further transition, if the parent ticket is not in Build Status ! issue.isSubTask() || issue.parentObject.statusObject.name == "Build"

[Udo Brand]

hmm, I'm not a groovy expert but, since this is a condition for a transition of a subtask the part "!issue.isSubTask()" seems wrong. Remove the "!" or the complete expression.

You can use a Conditioned validator. Condition allowing the transition only when the parant status is what you want.
