Introduction
It's a validator that checks if the number of related issues (based on JQL or simple subtasks/links) meets your expectations. It allows you e.g. to block a transition if there are some unresolved linked issues or the number of issues created last week is bigger than "X".

Validator parameters
- Related Issues - as described below.
- Operator - a math operator to compare related issues counted with a given number.
- Target value - the expected number of issues to pass the validation.
- Failed validation message - a message is sent to the user if the validation fails.
- Evaluate value on - a method of validation.
- Original issue - an issue without changes made by the user (on the transition screen).
- Issue after transition - an issue after the changes made on the transition screen (but it doesn't reflect changes made by post functions)
Working with related issues Related issues can be selected by using two inputs: Issue Relation - where you can choose a relation with the current (transitioned) issue; JQL - you can put your JQL text to filter some issues from the results. If you leave the JQL Field empty, all issues in a given relation are taken into account. In the example above you wanted to execute a workflow function on subtasks of the current issue and take additionally only the ones with the "Sub-task" and priority="High" type. In the JQL field you can put some text tags to be replaced with actual values of the current (transitioned) issue: $$CURRENT_DATETIME$$ $$ASSIGNEE$$ $$CURRENT_STATUS_CATEGORY$$ The JQL field has a built-in validation feature. If your query is incorrect, you will see a red sign next to the JQL field and an error description as shown below:
