Hi, All

How to set up an automation rule in Jira to ensure that an issue can only have the "Impediment" flag added if a comment explaining the reason is provided. 

Restrict adding a flag without comment

Hi @Uliana Komiakovych -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Automation rules run after some event has happened.  They cannot prevent something from happening.

And...it is not possible to require the comment when flagging an issue / work item.  Here is the suggestion to add that feature, which you may watch / vote for to see progress: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-91131

Kind regards,
Bill
