Hello @Mary Ann becker 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Do you have access to apps that extend the capabilities of workflow customization, like ScriptRunner, JMWE, or JWT?

With only native functionality, according to Google AI you should be able to do that with a Sub-task Blocking Condition.

I don't have a Data Center environment where I can validate that is an accurate suggestion.

There are other methods available if you have access to third party apps that extend the workflow functionality.

Hi @Mary Ann becker
If you are using Jira Misc Workflow Extension(JMWE) you can use the following Condition to reach your target.

Use Related Issues Status Condition, like in the screenshot.

If you don't have this add-on, please let me know, what add-ons you are using, maybe ScriptRunner?
