User Story post function for transistions 'F' and 'Fn'string st;boolean sub_tasks = false;

// Parent (i.e. User Story):if (isNull(parent)) { resolution = "Cancelled"; for (st in subtasks(key)) { if (%st%.status == "Ready") { autotransition("Cancel", st); %st%.resolution = "Cancelled"; logPrint("DEBUG", "Task " + %st%.key + " is moved to 'Ready' via the 'Cancel' transition."); sub_tasks = true; } } return;}

// Sub-task (Fn):for (st in subtasks(parent.key)) { if (%st%.status == "Ready" || %st%.status == "Doing") sub_tasks = true;}

if (!sub_tasks) { if (parent.status == "Ready") { logPrint("DEBUG", "This (" + key + ") was the last sub-task. The story is in 'Ready', so I'm 'Cancelling' story " + parent.key); autotransition("Cancel", parent); parent.resolution = "Cancelled"; }}
