Problem

An issue can be closed while dependent issues, such as child or linked issues, are still open.

Solution

You can add To address this, you can implement a SIL™ condition on the Close transition, which verifies . This condition checks the status of all dependent related issues (both child and linked issues). If any of the dependent these issues is not already closedstill open, the condition returns will return a false response.

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;
