> A workflow validator that ensures the issues linked to the current issue (existing and ones added during the transition) have certain characteristics. The transition to which the validator is added will pass only when the linked issues respect these characteristics.

When you add this validator to a transition and trigger the transition, the add-on checks the specified condition on linked issues (existing and ones added during the transition) that are of the specified issue link type and issue type; all the other linked issues will be considered as satisfying the condition and hence pass the validation. You can further customize the validation using the details mentioned in the next section.
