typeinfo

This validator depends on issue type, status, resolution, and number of sub-tasks.can block a transition based on the state and the number of an issue's sub-tasks.

The validator only makes sense when used in a workflow used by standard issue types.

You can specify multiple filter criteria that will be "and concatenated". Per default, all sub-tasks must match the combination of all criteria.

titleFilter by issue type

Only If you select specific issue types, all sub-tasks with must be any of the selected issue types are allowed. Leave empty to allow all issue types. If sub-tasks with other issue types are found, the validator will fail.

The additional filters can be used to further restrict the issues to be analyzed.

If you leave this filter blank, e.g. if the issue type is irrelevant, you must check the additional option Skip issue type filter / issues in unselected issue types.

If you select specific issue types and also check the additional option Skip issue type filter / issues in unselected issue types, the additional criteria (status, resolution, field value) will only be applied to the selected issue types.

titleFilter by status

Only If you select specific statuses, all sub-tasks with must be in any of the selected statuses are allowed. Leave empty to allow all statuses.

Example of possible statuses:

  • Open
  • To Do
  • In progress
  • Done

    • . If sub-tasks with other statuses are found, the validator will fail.

    titleFilter by field value

    Only Optionally limit the sub-tasks matching the field value condition provided will be allowed. Leave empty for no filteringto be counted or analyzed by their field values. To achieve this you must enter an expression in Logical mode. The expression must return  true or false.

    Examples: 

    ExpressionDescription


    Code Block
    languagebash
    linenumberstrue
    %{seed.issue.assignee} != null


    All sub-tasks must be assigned to a user. If unassigned sub-tasks are found, the validator will fail.

    UI Text Box
    typeinfo

    Values in sub-tasks have to be referenced by their seed field codes.



    Code Block
    languagebash
    linenumberstrue
    %{issue.dueDate} <= %{seed.issue.dueDate}


    All sub-tasks must have a due date of equal to or later than the current issue's due date.

    titleMinimum number of sub-tasks

    The Specify the minimum number of subthe sub-tasks required to satisfy selected filtering conditions (issue type, status, resolution, and field values)that need to satisfy the specified filter criteria. The default value is 0 to ensure the validator passes if the current issue does not have any sub-tasks.

    UI Text Box
    typetip

    If you set this number to 1, the validator will fail if the issue does not have any sub-tasks or if the existing sub-tasks don't match the specified filter criteria.

    titleMaximum number of sub-tasks

    The Specify the maximum number of the counted sub-tasks allowed to satisfy selected filtering conditions (issue type, status, resolution, and field values)that need to satisfy the specified filter criteria. The default is 1000.

    UI Text Box
    typetip

    If you set this number to 1, the validator will fail as soon as more than one sub-task satisfies the specified filter criteria.

    titleAdditional options
    Choose from one of the following options (multi-choice is possible):
    • Sub-tasks in unselected issue types will be ignored, i.e., they will be allowed regardless of their status, resolution, field values, and number. Nevertheless, if none of the issue types are selected, checking this option will make the condition behave as if you had selected every issue type.
    • Sub-tasks in unselected statuses will be ignored, i.e., they will be allowed regardless of their resolution, field values, and number. Nevertheless, if none of the statuses are selected, checking this option will make the condition behave as if you had selected every status.
    • Sub-tasks in unselected resolutions will be ignored, i.e., they will be allowed regardless of their field values and number. Nevertheless, if none of the resolutions are selected, checking this option will make the condition behave as if you had selected every resolution.
    • Sub-tasks not satisfying filter by field values will be ignored, i.e., they will be allowed regardless of their number.

    titleValidation options

    Choose from one of the following options (multi-choice is possible):

    • If the transition is triggered by a JWT post function, the validation will be skipped.
    • If the transition is triggered by a bulk operation, the validation will be skipped.
    • If the create transition is triggered by a clone operation, the validation will be skipped.
    • If the create transition is triggered by a mail handler, the validation will be skipped.

    The following options can be used to refine the number of issues you want to analyze in this validator.

    Per default all filters are mandatory, filters are "and concatenated" and you cannot save your configuration unless you have specified values. Any sub-task being analyzed by the validator must match all criteria.

    UI Text Box
    typenote

    If you leave a filter blank you must check the additional option to skip the filter. Otherwise you cannot save your configuration.


    The additional options allow you to override the default behavior.

    FilterAdditional optionDescription
    No value selectedNot checked (error)Not possible. If you want to skip the filter you have to uncheck the corresponding additional option.
    No value selectedChecked (tick)

    Skip this filter completely. An equivalent would be to select all available options, e.g. all issue types are allowed.

    One or multiple values selectedNot checked (error)Enforce that all sub-tasks which are analyzed must have the selected values, e.g. only selected issue types are allowed.
    One or multiple values selectedChecked (tick)

    Issues not matching the specified value areallowed and will be ignored when evaluating whether the validator passes. 


    UI Text Box
    typetip

    By default, whenever a value is selected in a filter it will be combined with all other filter criteria and all sub-tasks must match the filter combination.

    If you only want to analyze specific issue types (e.g. "Test cases"), select "Test case" in the issue type filter and check the corresponding additional option. This way, other sub-tasks (which are not "Test cases") can exist and will not be considered.
