Block Linked Issues depending on Status

 

Usage cases

The basic usage case is to block a Transition of a Parent Issue until all its Sub-Tasks are Resolved or Closed.

But it may be also these others use cases:

  • Block a Resolve transition until Linked Issues having a Block Issue Link Type are Resolved.
  • Or Block Start Progress Transition of a Sub-Task until its Parent Issue is In Progress
  • and many others ....

By Linked Issues, the condition considers all Issue Link Type (included Sub-Task) in both direction (Inward and Outwards Link).
