Developerment: Are you sure popup before done

[Roman Dulkin]

Hello,

I'm currently developing a plugin for JIRA cloud. One of the features that I want to implement is "Are you sure" dialog before issue moved to Done.

I couldn't find the right strategy to approach the issue. Can you suggest something, or is it impossible?

Hi Roman,

You can do this without a plugin! When Jira issues transition from one status to another, they follow the rules defined in the conditions/validators/post-functions of their workflows.

1. Create a custom field called "Are you sure?" with just an option for yes (radio boxes would be the fewest clicks for the user to do this)
2. Create a new screen and add the "Are you sure?" field to it
3. Create a validator on the transition to Done (the regex validator should work fine for this)
4. Set the validator so that the "Are you sure?" field must have the value "yes"
5. Set the transition to use the "Are you sure" screen you created in step 2
6. Publish your modified workflow

Now when you execute the transition to Done, you'll get a screen popping up that asks if you're sure. You have to click "Yes" to continue!

Great. That's amazing. Thank you. Is there any way I can use CSS to change the looks of the radio buttons?
