Issue Links between Epic, Story and Test

[Rjve Nautiyal]

Hi,

I have installed JIRA Workflow Toolbox version 2.2.32 for the JIRA Server version 7.1.4. Could you please clarify on the below details whether it is possible to implement the status-

1- I have Stories linked to Epic through the field called Epic link in creation screen of stories in JIRA. So, whenever I am changing the story status to "In-Review", the epic status should change to "In-Progress". You can refer the attachment for more details with the name- Issues_in_Epic

2- My Stories are linked with Test cases, so whenever test cases status is changed to "Pass", I wanted the story status to be changed to "completed". You can refer the attachment for more details with the name- Issues_in_Stories

Could you please help me with the steps, I tried using "Validation of Linked issues" under Validator for Epic Workflow but no luck.

Thanks & Regards, Rajeev Nautiyal

Hi Rjve,

You can do it using "Write field on linked issues or subtasks" post-function. I explain you exactly how to do it:

Transitioning Epic whenever a Story is moved to "In-Review"

You should insert "Write field on linked issues or subtasks" post-function into transition to "In-Review" status in Story's workflow with the following configuration:

• Source type: parsed text (basic mode
• Source value: In-Progress
• Target field: Issue status
• Filtering by issue link type: has Epic
• Filtering linked issues or subtasks by issue type: Epic
• Filtering linked issues or subtasks by status: check only the status where the Epic is supposed to be prior to be moved to In-Progress.
• Linked issues or subtasks belong to: any Project (or current project if you prefer it.)

Transitioning Story whenever the Test Case is moved to "Pass"

You should insert "Write field on linked issues or subtasks" post-function into transition to "Pass" status in Test Case's workflow with the following configuration:

• Source type: parsed text (basic mode
• Source value: Completed
• Target field: Issue status
• Filtering by issue link type: check the issue link type that is used to link Test Case with Story, as it's seen from the Test Case issue.
• Filtering linked issues or subtasks by issue type: Story
• Filtering linked issues or subtasks by status: check only the status where the Story is supposed to be prior to be moved to Completed.
• Linked issues or subtasks belong to: any Project (or current project if you prefer it.)

This will move Story to complete when the first Test Case is moved to Pass. If you can have more than one Test Case, and want to do it only when all the Test Cases are moved to Pass, then you should set Target field to Issue status (delayed writing), and add "Validation on linked issues" to transition to Completed status in Story's workflow with the following configuration:

• Issue link types: check the issue link type that is used to link Test Case with Story, as it's seen from the Story issue.
• Issue types for linked issues: Test Case
• Statuses for linked issues: Pass (you can also check other status where Test Cases can go after Pass status, and also statuses that makes Test Cases invalid like Cancelled in case you have any of them).
• Resolutions for linked issues: don't select any
• Linked issues must belong to: any Project (or current project if you prefer it.)
• Filtering by field values: leave empty
• Minimum required number of issue links: 0 (or 1 if you want to require at least one Test Case)
• Maximum allowed number of issue links: 9999
• Allow unselected issue link types: CHECKED
• Allow unselected issue types: CHECKED
• Allow unselected statuses: UNCHECKED
• Allow unselected resolutions: CHECKED
• Allow unsatisfied condition on field values: UNCHECKED
• Skip validation when: ALL UNCHECKED
• Message to show when validation fails: "All the Test Cases should be passed.*

Hi Fidel, Many thanks for quick response and help.

I tried the below option- Transitioning Epic whenever a Story is moved to "In-Review"

I configured the story workflow as per the instruction but now I am not able to view the "In-Review" Options to change under story. Not sure what is the issue here.

For more details I have attached the screenshot with the following name- Story_Screenshot_1.JPG Epic_1.PNG Transition_Workflow.png

Thanks & Regards, Rajeev Nautiyal

Hi Rjve,

It's very strange. Conditions can hide a transition, but post-functions are only executed once the transition is executed. A failure in the post-function can't hide a transition.

Please, check the log file for error messages.

If you don't find anything we can have a video-conference with screen-share through Skype. I'm in Spain. Due to different timezones I prefer to have the meeting tomorrow, as early as possible.

Hi Fidel,

I am currently trying to reoccurring the same issue with new project. I will keep you posted on this.

Simultaneously, just wanted to check if this plugin can meet my below requirement- I want to extract the time the issue was with assignee with whatever the status it has .For eg- I have a issue and there are 4 assignee from 4 different companies working in it. One assignee kept the issue in his queue for some 3 hours and then he passed the issue to other assignee. The other assignee kept the issue in his queue for 4hours. So we wanted to track which assignee have kept the issue in his queue for more time with no action done in issues. In above scenario assignee one kept the issue for 3 hours and then other assignee for 4 hours.

Thanks & Regards, Rajeev Nautiyal

Hi Rjve,

Sorry, but currently it's not possible to do. I will study the possibility to add a function to the parser that could make it possible. I will keep you informed here.
