Hello @İclal Aslan ,

Good day! Welcome to Atlassian community :)

In order to block parent issue to transition to done until all child issue status done, you can achieve this with a workflow transition Condition called "Sub-task Blocking Condition". It is a condition to block parent work item transition depending on sub-task status.

Hello,

 

Thank you so so much :) is there a way to do it with validator so that people can see the transition but see the error. Otherwise they'll keep asking why they don't see the transition :D

@İclal Aslan Unfortunately, we dont have any options in validators to achieve this configuration.

Hi @İclal Aslan, no it won't work, to make it work, you will need 3rd party validator or create some workaround with automation that would revert the transition

Since some time the Epic Link has been replaced in Jira by parent field. Is there a Parent option? Maybe check that
