When you add this condition to a transition, the add-on checks the Status of the issue's linked issues. If the linked issues of the specified issue link type and issue type are all in one of the selected statuses, then the transition will be available to the user. If not, the transition will be hidden.

The list of statuses that is displayed under the Statuses field has all the statuses across different workflows. This is because the workflow of an issue and that of its linked issues can be different.

Use case

A typical use of this workflow condition is to hide the transition on the current issue until all its linked issues are in a specific status. Consider a use where you want to hide the “Close” transition on the parent until all its subtasks are closed. To configure it:

  1. Add the “Linked Issues Status Condition” to the “Close” transition of the workflow

  2. Select the “Issue Link Type” as “is Parent of”

  3. Select “Close” status under “Statuses”

  4. Save the condition

  5. Publish the workflow
