Jira workflow. Parallel consideration of issue?

Question

JIRA

Good afternoon.
Please tell me how to set up parallel consideration of a task in JIRA Software, i.e. I create a task and I need to send it for approval to 3 or more employees at once, how can I do this?
Alternatively, you can create a sub task, but this is not very convenient...

Answer 1

Good afternoon.
The functionality is non-trivial.
If purely regular functionality, then it will be ugly crutches. In your case, there will be a lot of unnecessary tasks, inconvenience for users (where the approver should write a clarifying comment, in which task to press the refusal and how to work it out automatically ...).
As one of the options and implementation via ScriptRunner(Jython/plugin).
(There are code examples here - https://github.com/mailru/jira-scripts)
Create a user picker (multiple users) field that specifies the users from whom you need approval. - “Approvers”
Create a user picker (multiple users) field which will indicate the users who agreed. - “Agreed”
Next, there is a status - Approval.
There are two transitions from this status.
1. Approval -> approval
2. Approval -> next status.
Air conditioners are hung on these transitions.
1. User in the "Agreers" field. The user is not in the "Agreed" field. More than 1 approval left.
2. User in the "Agreers" field. The user is not in the "Agreed" field. There is only 1 agreement left.
And on the same transitions, a post function is hung up: add a user to the “Agreed” field.
For the convenience of approvers (depending on how their dashboards are configured), you can add users from the “Agreers” field to observers (through the listener on create/edit or through the post function).

Answer 2

Your option is to use the Sign-off plugin, which allows you to coordinate the task in parallel.
