Unable to roll stories into the next sprint if Subtasks are open

[G Ashok]

Hi Team 

There has been an issue raised regarding the inability to close a Sprint if subtasks are open, suggesting a need for a solution to allow stories to roll over into the next Sprint without manually closing or unlinking subtasks.

Hi @G Ashok,

I have only seen this happen when a story / task level issue has been closed while sub-tasks of that (closed) issue are still unsolved. That is indeed a scenario you would want to avoid.

In company managed projects, you could use a subtasks blocking condition in your parent issue's workflow to avoid stories to be closed when they still have open sub-tasks underneath. Or you could reverse the logic and use an automation rule to automatically close all subtasks when you close a parent issue.

Hope this helps!
