Close Merged Jira Tickets

Close LPD tickets whose code already reached brianchandotcom/liferay-portal master using ../../rules/jira-rest-api.md.

Confirm the Work Merged

A ticket is "merged by Brian" when its commits are in the master branch of the remote tracking brianchandotcom/liferay-portal. Forwarding rewrites commit SHAs, so match by commit message, after fetching the latest version.

All commits matching means the work landed. The PR may show as CLOSED (the CI bot closes it on forward) rather than merged.

Locate the Ticket Carrying the PR

The PR URL lives in the Git Pull Request field (customfield_10201). A Task records the PR on its Technical Task subtask, while a Bug or Technical Task records it on itself. Read that field together with subtasks and issuetype, then grep brian/master for the ID of whichever ticket actually holds the work.

Resolve the Real brianchandotcom PR

The Git Pull Request field often points at a personal or team fork PR (e.g. liferay-headless/liferay-portal), not the brianchandotcom/liferay-portal PR that actually forwards to master. The fork PR is not evidence on its own.

When the field PR is not a brianchandotcom/liferay-portal PR, find the real brian PR in the fork PR's GitHub comments: the CI forwarding bot posts the brianchandotcom/liferay-portal/pull/<n> link there. Read the fork PR's body and comments and pull that link out.

Always report the resolved brianchandotcom PR as the evidence, never the fork PR. If the field already points at a brianchandotcom PR, use it directly.

Close the Ticket

Transition IDs and screen fields vary by issue type and current status, so never hardcode them. Fetch the issue transitions expanded with their fields, pick the one whose to.name is Closed, then post that transition ID with the type-specific fields below. A successful transition returns HTTP 204.

Confirm Before Closing

Once you have confirmed which tickets merged and located the ticket carrying each PR, list every ticket you are about to close and stop for the user's explicit confirmation before transitioning anything. For each ticket show:

• the title,
• the Jira link (https://liferay.atlassian.net/browse/<KEY>), and
• the PR link — the resolved brianchandotcom/liferay-portal PR (see Resolve the Real brianchandotcom PR), not the fork PR from the field.

Do not transition any ticket until the user confirms. If the user drops some tickets from the list, close only the ones they keep.

Required Fields by Issue Type

The allowed resolutions and required fields differ per type. A Bug uses Fixed; a Task and a Technical Task reject Fixed and use Completed.

Issue Type	Resolution	Other Required Fields
Technical Task	Completed	None
Task	Completed	None
Bug	Fixed	customfield_10979 (Cross Cutting Properties) as an array, e.g. [{"value": "None"}]; a Fix version, e.g. {"name": "Master"}

The Bug Fix version is enforced by a transition validator even though the field metadata marks it optional. Ask the user which version to set; use Master for master-only work.

Parent Tasks Close Last

A parent Task exposes the Closed transition only once every Technical Task subtask is already Closed. Close the subtasks first, then refetch the parent's transitions and close it.

Stories Are Closed by Product Managers

Never close a Story, even when its code has merged. Close its merged Technical Task subtask, but leave the Story for the product manager. Report the Story as skipped.

Verify

Refetch the closed keys and confirm each reports status Closed with the expected resolution.
