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.

Hi @Geethanjali S J if you need to display an error while executing trantision, you need to implement a validator on the transition. Unfortuntatelly Jira does not have required validator by default. You need to use some app, I'm using ScriptRunner for Cloud. I checked some apps and following apps look promising:

• https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1221593/workflow-rules?hosting=cloud&tab=overview
• https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/292/jira-misc-workflow-extensions-jmwe?hosting=cloud&tab=support

You would need to configure a workflow condition for the transition between In Progress -> Complete and use the 'Sub-Task Blocking Condition'. When you choose this condition, you will need to choose the 'Complete' workflow as the condition required for all the sub-tasks to be in order for the parent to be allowed to transition.
