Excerpt

Description

The ‘Linked Status’ validator checks that linked issues have a particular status. This check will not pass, if not all linked issues (of a certain link type), have a particular status.

For example in the Testing and Fixing Bugs use case, the tester can’t set a test to 'Ok' as long as there are still open bugs for it.

Configuration

Note

Do not use this check in a transition that will be triggered by a Linked Transition. The check would still get the old status of the issue initiating the Linked Transition.

The ‘Linked Status’ validator can’t be used in the ‘Create’ transition. This is mainly due to technical reasons where the ‘issue linking' is not established and the validator can’t find the linked issues to validate it.

Optional error message

You can define a custom error message for JSU validators to provide a clear explanation of the situation to your users. If you leave this field empty, a default error message from Jira will be displayed on validation errors. This might be a bit too technical, making it difficult for you users to understand the cause of the error.
