Features used to implement the example
Example: Restrict parent issue from closing if it has sub-tasks that were created during a given parent issue status
If sub-tasks are raised while the parent is at a status of "Released", the parent cannot be moved to status "Closed" until all sub-tasks are closed.
Create a "Text field (single line)" custom field in sub-task issue called "Parent status at sub-task's creation"
Insert post-function Copy a parsed text to a field into sub-task's "Create Issue" with the following configuration:
Note that:
- %{00042} is field code for "Parent's issue status" virtual field
- Beware to introduce that post-function after "Creates the issue originally" system post-function
Insert Boolean validator with math, date-time or text-string terms validator into "Close issue" transition in parent's workflow with the following configuration:
Boolean expression used is: count(filterByPredicate(subtasks(), ^%{11900} = "Released" AND ^%{00016} != "Closed")) = 0
Note that:
- %{11900} is field code for "Parent status at subtask's creation" custom field in my particular JIRA instance. You should replace 11900 with the field code in your Jira instance
- %{00016} is field code for "Issue status"
