How to block subtask creation when the parent issue is done for specific issue type

[Venkata Sagar]

Hi ,

I want to block subtask creation when the parent issue is done status.

Thanks

The easiest way to achieve that is to use Simple Scripted Validator on Create transition for the sub task issue type(s) with following snippet:

issue.parentObject?.status.name != "Done"

An error message will be displayed only when the user click on the create button:

I didn't see that you just need for a single parent issue type. You can use:

issue.parentObject?.status.name != "Done" || issue.parentObject?.issueType.name != "Story"

Hi @Max Lim _Adaptavist_ ,

Thank you for the Response, It is working as Expected .

We have a similar issue and the script is not working quite how we would like. We have a workflow with the issue types Epic, Task, and Sub-task. We also have a separate workflow with the issue type Request. The script is blocking the Sub-task creation as expected, but is also blocking the ability to create Epic and Tasks that follow the same workflow. Ideally we would like Sub-tasks to be blocked if the Request issue type is Closed/Done, but it is fine if it applies to all. Any ideas?

Hi @Venkata Sagar ,

You can try with script runner plugin.
