Excerpt

A workflow condition that allows you to hide/show a particular transition from the list of available transitions based on issues related to the

issue's linked issues.

current issue. It can be used to test the existence of certain related issues (such as linked issues, Stories of an Epic, Epic of a Story, subtasks of an issue, issues returned by a Groovy script or a JQL search, etc.). The transition to which the condition is added will be available only if the

issue's linked

related issues respect certain conditions.


Note
  • This post-function does not work with remote links (links to Jira issues residing on another Jira instance/server).
  • JMWE now considers "symmetrical" link types (such as "relates to") as one link direction instead of two on the configuration screens and in the condition's execution.

Image Added

When you add this condition to a transition,the  the add-on checks the number of issues of specified type, linked to the current issue checks the related issues, against the number of issues entered in the the Min. Linked Related Issues field field.You  You can further customize the condition using the following options:

What to validate

Require

issue links with a specific link type or set of constraints: Hides the transition if issue links of specified link type and

certain related issues: The transition is hidden if related issues respecting the constraints

configured

below do not exist.

Check

existing issue links: Hides the transition if existing linked issues of the specified link type

related issues: The transition is hidden if the specified related issues do not respect the

constraints configured.

Max. Linked Issues

Select the maximum number of linked issues to be accepted

provided constraints.

Target Issues

Select the issues to check the constraints on. They can be:

  • Linked issues: Select issue(s) linked to the current issue through any link type or a specific link type such as blocks, is cloned by, etc.

  • Sub-tasks of the current issue: Select this option to operate on the sub-tasks of the current issue

  • Parent issue of the current sub-task: Select this option to operate on the parent of the current issue

  • Issues that belong to the current Epic: Select this option to operate on the issues that belong to the current Epic

  • Epic of the current issue: Select this option to operate on the Epic of the current issue

  • Child issues of the current issue in the Portfolio hierarchy: Select this option to operate on the child issues of the current issue in the Portfolio hierarchy

  • Parent issue of the current issue in the Portfolio hierarchy: Select this option to operate on the parent issue of the current issue in the Portfolio hierarchy

  • Issues returned by a Groovy script:  Input a Groovy script that returns either a single Issue object, or a Collection of Issue objects, or a String representing the key of an issue, or a Collection of Strings each representing an issue key. For example:

    • "TEST-1"

    • ["TEST-1","TEST-2"]

    • ComponentAccessor.issueManager.getIssueObject("TEST-1")

    • [ComponentAccessor.issueManager.getIssueObject("TEST-1"),ComponentAccessor.issueManager.getIssueObject("TEST-2")]

    • issue.parentObject

    • issue.getLinkedIssues()

  • Issues returned by a JQL search:  Input a JQL search expression, including an optional Groovy Template markup. For example:

    • project = TEST returns issues of the project with the key TEST

    • project = ${issue.get("project").key} and assignee = ${currentUser.name} returns issues of the project the current issue belongs to and assigned to the current user.

    • To operate on issues of a project with key TEST and issue type name same as the value in a text field

      Code Block
      <% if (issue.get("Single line text")) { %>
    project = TEST and issuetype = ${issue.get("Single line text")}
<% } else { %>
    issuekey=INVALID-1
<% } %>


Note

  • Note that the <% if %> block is necessary to avoid an invalid JQL query when the Single-line text field is empty. In that case, the template will return a valid JQL query that returns no issue (issuekey=INVALID-1). This is in general applicable to JQL operating on select type fields with pre-determined values like Affects Version/s, Checkboxes etc.

  • The maximum number of issues returned by a valid JQL is limited to 1000.

Issue constraints

Min. Related Issues

Select the minimum number of related issues to enforce. By default, it is 1.
