Create error msg while changing the workflow status

[Geethanjali S J]

Hi Team, 

We have an issue type called MBI under MBI we have child issues 

The workflow for MBI is

To do - In Progress - Complete 

If all the child issues under MBI is closed/Accepted we can move the status from in progress to complete 

If any one of the child issue is not closed/accepted it should show an error message and we cannot move the status

Can anyone please help me how to do this. 

Regards, 

Geethanjali.

I know this is not the same thing that you're asking, but you could automate the transition of epics to done, when the corresponding tasks are done as described here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Core-Server-questions/Transition-Parent-Epic-to-done-when-tasks-are-done/qaq-p/1440449

Are you using any plugins? or you want this behaviour in Jira without the use of a plugin?

We don't use any plugins and our instance is jira cloud. 

[Tinker Fadoua]

When you want a message to display to users, you usually add a validator 

Looking at the validators available in Jira Cloud none of them will apply to your case. 

You will need a plugin so that you can add a script that will warn the users that there is a child issue still open, it is the reason Parent issue can not be closed

If you have any questions please let me know.

Actually we tried that but our requirement is not that 

We are not creating sub task

We are creating Epic and Sub service issue type only under MBI by using parent link(MBI).

I am looking at the moment for a Jira Cloud repo created by an Adaptavist Engineer that has several scripts. May be few tweaks then it can work.
