unclosed tasks in the epic

[Ivan Andrieiev]

is it possible to make it so that with unclosed tasks in the epic, this epic cannot be closed?

Hi @Ivan Andrieiev , thanks for your question.

You can block the transition of an issue if the child issues aren't done, but only for Sub-tasks. Like @John Funk said, if you wanted to block the Epic closing from the status of Stories or other issue types, you will need an app.

Cheers

Hi @Ivan Andrieiev 

You would need an add-on like JWME or ScriptRunner to be able to do that.

@Valerie Knapp @John Funk  Hi

Is it possible to somehow configure this through automation?

[John Funk]

No, because automation only executes to perform an action. It can't prevent actions. You would need to add a Validator or a Condition to your workflow for that.
