Validation on linked issues

[Sunil Sharma]

I am working on POC where I am creating project workflow.

As per requirements, any task can not be closed if there are opened linked issues.

I was able to implement this behavior using workflow toolbox on Server edition, management wants to switch to Jira cloud and this add-on is not available on cloud.

Is there any other way I can add validation rule on Jira cloud or if I can write my own rule?

Thanks,

Sunil

Hi @Sunil Sharma

I'd suggest using ScriptRunner or Jira Misc Workflow Extensions.

With Jira misc workflow extensions you'll be able to achieve this with little to no scripting. ScriptRunner you might need to create your own validation script. 

Hope one of these works for you.

Unfortunately, none of these add-ons will allow you to add this validation rule on Jira Cloud, because Jira Cloud only supports the few built-in Validators (and Conditions) and doesn't have an API to add custom Validators and Conditions (only post-functions).
