I have tried different ways of wording this question and gone through many search results, but was unable to find an answer. Has anyone figured out a good way to accomplish this? I have users that are releasing assys that have a slew of unreleased models in them, and I want to make it so this cannnot happen. Using PDM 2017.
Thanks,

I think you are looking for the enhancement request filed under SPR 334220: Need workflow transition condition that blocks transition if referenced files are not meeting a certain condition, i.e a parent can only be approved if children are already approved
For example, you can't push a drawing through to the next state unless they are taking the references with it or the references are also being transitioned.
I believe they are working on this and had some variation of this in beta 1 for 2019. After testing, it needed much more work so unfortunately I believe it's out of 2019 commercial release but they are actively working on it!
