Help with a linked issue rule please

[Patricia Francezi]

My scenario: 

- I flag the issues when there is a linked issue type Blocks is added to an issue 

- There are scenarios where one issue is blocked by more then 1 issue. 

I made this rule and this works fine when is a 1 to 1 scenario, but there is caveat when having more then one blocking one issue. 

I could not figure out how to fetch / check if both linked issues are closed, then the rule could run and remove the flag from the issue. 

For this I request help, please

You need to add a new condition after your first condition with the following requirement:

Related Issues condition
"related issues" > Linked Issues
"Link types" > blocks
"condition" > All match specified JQL

JQL: Status = Closed

Hi @Fernando Eugênio da Silva 

Thanks for your answer, but it didnt had the effect expected. 

- The rule didnt remove the flag after moving the blocker issue to done - its ok

- The rule didnt remove the flag after moving the second issue to done - its not ok

Sounds that the linked (the blocked) issue was not found / touched in this way

Follow the screen shot

The 1683 is the issue flagged, and the last time the rule touched it was yesterday, with the old rule

Any other idea?

@Patricia Francezi 

In fact, I believe you are missing including "is blocked by" in your "related conditions" and in your "branch".

This is because with the exception of "relates to", the other types of links have input and output vectors. blocks > is blocked by / causes > is caused by, etc.

Also, assuming my current issue is also flagged I've added a last branch to current Issue. See the rule:

Try to consider the values "blocks" and "is blocked by" in your branch and in your "related issues condition"

Let me know if it works for you

Hi @Fernando Eugênio da Silva 

THanks again, but the case is - I do need to look only to blocks links. 

If I look to blocked by, Im transitioning the issue that has the flag itself to done, Its not the scenario. 

I will listen transitions made in every issue, but the rule should be triggered only if that issue blocks something else.
