Hey Abhishek,

From what I'm reading, you want to have a way to check if a parent task has any child tasks that are still open and prevent parent task closure onSubmit. Let me know if that is correct. You can definitely use a client script with client side glide record calls to check this or you can more simply create a before update business rule that runs on your parent task table (sc_task) and performs the following check:

(I don't know which child catalog task table you're using, but for this example's sake I'll use the very broad 'task' table.)

or since they're all field checks on the child record refactor it to this:
