Documentation for JMWE 6.2.0 is available here.

A workflow condition that allows you to hide/show a particular transition from the list of available transitions based on the status of the issue's linked issues.

The transition to which the condition is added will be available only if the issue's linked issues are in one of the selected statuses.

To add 'Linked Issues Status Condition' to a transition:

  1. Click Edit for the workflow that has the transition you wish to configure the condition on.
  2. In the Workflow Designer, select the transition.
  3. Click on Conditions in the properties panel.
  4. Click on Add condition.
  5. Select Linked Issues Status Condition from the list of conditions.
  6. Click on Add to add the condition on the transition.
  7. Select the link from the Issue Link drop-down, or leave it as Any for any link type other than Issue/Subtask, Epic/Story and Jira Portfolio hierarchy
  8. Select the issue type from the Issue Type field, or leave it as Any for any issue type.
  9. Select the status(es) from the Statuses field.
  10. Click on Add to add the condition to the transition.

Refer to the Use cases for conditions page for use cases for this condition.

When you add this condition to a transition, the add-on checks the Status of the issue's linked issues. If the linked issues are all in one of the selected statuses, then the transition will be available to the user. If not, the transition will be hidden.

The list of statuses that is displayed under the Statuses field has all the statuses across different workflows. This is because the workflow of an issue and that of its linked issues can be different.
