Description

Awork currently does not support a check for open subtasks or open dependencies when setting a task status to done. This workflow offers you a simple workaround to add this functionality to Awork and notifies users when triggered. Multiple configuration options available.

How it works
Triggered via Awork Webhook call on status change of tasks
If task is marked as done, subtasks and/or dependent tasks are checked for their status
If unfinished tasks are found, a status rollback to previous status is performed and user gets notified

Set up steps
Add webhook call to Awork
Configure Awork API credentials
Set up workflow configuration via setup node, e.g. user notification text, restrict to subtasks/dependency checks etc.
