Problem
An issue should not be able to close if any of the can be closed while dependent issues, such as child or linked issues is not closed, are still open.
Solution
One will need to add To address this, you can implement a SIL™ condition on the close transition which will verify the statuses of all dependencies (Close transition. This condition checks the status of all related issues (both child and linked issues). If any of the dependencies is not already closed these issues is still open, the condition will return a false response.
Determine which dependencies need to restrict the transition
For the sake of this exercise we will consider that all subtasks need to be closed in order to let an issue to be closedIdentify 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 navigate go to Administration - > Workflows and edit ".
Edit the Close Issue" transition on in your Jira workflow.
Press "Add a new condition" link.
On the Conditions tab, click Add.
Select (k) SIL™ SIL Condition and then press click Add.
Writing the SIL™ codeThe page Add Parameters To Condition appears. page is displayed.
Writing the SIL™ code
In the SIL™ code edit area insert editor, enter the following code:
| Code Block |
|---|
// 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; |
The page should look like this:
