Related Issues Status Condition
Are you using JMWE for Jira Cloud and want to learn how to use this condition? Head to our documentation here.
Documentation for JMWE 5.0.0 - 6.1.3 is available here.
A workflow condition that allows you to hide/show a particular transition from the list of available transitions based on the status of issues related to the current issue. Checks the status of 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 related issues are all in one of the selected statuses.
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.

When you add this condition to a transition, the add-on checks the Status of the issue's related issues. Based on the option selected under "Related Issues Status Condition#Mode" if the related issues satisfy the condition then the transition will be available to the user. If not, the transition will be hidden.
You can further customize the condition using the following options:
