Problem

An issue

can be closed while dependent issues, such as child or linked issues

, are still open.

Solution

To address this, you can implement a SIL™ condition on the

Close transition. This condition checks the status of all related issues (both child and linked issues). If any of

these issues is still open, the condition will return a false response.

Identify restricting dependent issues

In this example, it's necessary to have all subtasks closed before closing the main issue.

Add a new condition

Log in as an administrator and

go to Administration

> Workflows

.

Edit the Close Issue

transition

in your Jira workflow.

page is displayed.

Writing the SIL™ code

In the SIL™ code

editor, enter the following code:

// get all subtasks
string s_tasks=subtasks(key);

// process each subtask
for(string s in s_tasks)
// if subtasks' status is not closed the transition cannot be available and therefore return false 
  if(%s%.status != "Closed")
    return false;

// if not failed yet then the transition should be available
return true;
