Block Linked Issues

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 ....

How it works

By defining this Workflow Condition in a Transition of your workflow, you are able to block/allow the transition depending of the Status reached by Linked Issues .

Configuring the Feature

To configure the Block Linked Issues depending on Status Workflow Condition, please follow these steps :

1. Add the Block Linked Issues depending on Status to the wanted transition.
