Create condition to disable "Done" status untill all subtasks are done

[emilyhueg]

Hi can you guide me to how I can add a condition to our project,

I would like the transistion-status "Done" To be disabled aslong as subtasks are not set to "Done" or "Closed" or "Resolved" yet. 

It might be inside an Automation or a "workflows" but I'm afraid to click on something wrong, so I wanted to ask for some help first how to set it up correctly

Hope you can help - thank you

HI @emilyhueg 

on the transition to done, add a "Sub-Task Blocking Condition" and choose the status(es) all sub-tasks need to have.

Thank you so much @Marc - Devoteam 

When you write "Condition" is that the same as adding a Rule ?

Hi @emilyhueg 

Yes in the new workflow editor, this is adding a rule.

You can add a sub-task blocking condition, in the workflow

Hi @emilyhueg 

This can be done by adding a condition to the workflow transition(s) to Done:

Yes @emilyhueg this is the same as adding a rule, unfortunately we all assumed you were using a company managed project rather than a team managed project, but for you the steps are:

Add rule

The result of doing this is:

@Stephen_Lugton  okay wow thank you, I am pretty new to this so thank you for the detailed explanation 

can I ask, if I want this to work for an Epic aswell, only allowing an Epic to transition to “done” if everything in the epic is completed is there then anything I should more I should do?

It somehow seemed to only work for normal tickets with subtask (but maybe the test was not set correctly so I will try to test it first thing Thursday) 

Thank you again for your answers
