Check parent issue type

Function	Jira expression condition Jira expression validator
Type
Use case description	Check whether the parent of the current issue is of a certain issue type. This is particularly important if you want to reuse a workflow for multiple sub-task issue types but only want a transition to be available if the sub-task belongs to a certain user story or a bug. This use case is valid for both conditions and validators. The only difference is that you can specify an additional error message when using a validator.
