Block 'Close' Transition Until All Subtasks are Closed
Required apps
Power Scriptsâ„¢ for Jira (server)
Level: BASIC
Problem
We want to block the task 'Close' transition if there are subtasks which are not closed. To accomplish that we need to add a new condition to the 'Close' transition.
Solution
Adding a new condition
Log in as an administrator and navigate to Administration-> Workflows and edit "Close Issue" transition on the default Jira workflow. Click Add a new condition:
Now add a '(k) SILâ„¢ condition':
The following screen appears:
Writing code
The following code (also shown above) does all the magic:
//blocks `Close` transition on parent task //until all its subtasks are closed for (string sk in subtasks(key)) {      //if found subtask that has not been closed, return false     if (%sk%.status != "Closed") {         return false;     } }  //otherwise return true return true;
Press the 'Save' button to save it on the server side (you can also check its syntax before, use the 'Check' button in the editor's menu).
Info
All you have to do now is to publish your workflow.
