Features used to implement the example
Example: Writing a comment to blocked issues when blocking issues are resolved
Is there any way to write a comment, for instance, "All blockers have been resolved, you may proceed with this issue", to the issue, say ABC-1234, blocked by the current issue, which is now being resolved, if ABC-1234 won't have unresolved blocking issues right after the current issue is resolved?
Yes, you can implement that behavior adding 3 post-functions to "Resolve Issue" transition in your blocker issues workflow:
Post-function Copy a parsed text to a field with the following configuration:
Post-function Copy a parsed text to a field with the following configuration:
Text to be parsed in advanced mode is:
toString(filterByPredicate(linkedIssues("blocks"), count(filterByResolution(linkedIssues("is blocked by",^%{00015}), "")) = 0))
Note that:
- ^%{00015} is field code for virtual field "Issue Key" in issues returned by function linkedIssues("blocks")
Post-function Write field on issues returned by JQL query with the following configuration:
Once configured, transition "Resolve Issue" looks like this:
