linked stories 'is blocked by' change story in scrum board

[Manikanta]

When story A is linked to story B where A blocks B (B is blocked by A), we are still able to move story B into our sprint even when A is not started or completed. Is there a way to make the scrum board warn or restrict when we try to move B into a scrum when the things blocking it are not done?

Dear @Manikanta,

you can do this with the commercial workflow toolbox plugin.

Hi @Thomas Deiler

Thanks for your reply. 

We use JIRA tool box plug-in. But i'm not sure if it can suit this requirement on scrum board? 

Can you please suggest

Dear @Manikanta,

regardless if you use classic Jira or agile boards. Moving one issue to another column performs a transition. And at that point the validator is blocking the transition.

Have a look at this example. Of cause you need to adapt it to your needs. It just points out how it will work.

Thanks @Thomas Deiler for your help. I have one more similar requirement. 

We know that there is an option called "Flag" on boards. But here my requirement is something different. When one story A is blocked by story B, making Story A flagged on Kanban board should automatically flag Story B also. 

Can you please help?

Dear @Manikanta,

unfortunately this is not possible with standard Jira. You have to code your own plugin.

Don't forget to "accept" the answer, when satisfied.

So long
