How can I stop users from moving a ticket to a certain status without logging time?

[Mimi Gebara]

For example, 

Can I set up Jira so that users can't move a ticket from In Progress to Peer Review unless they have time logged against the ticket?

Hello,

You can use the Power Scripts add-on for it. You would need to write your own validator and attach this validator to the transition from In Progress to Peer Review.

Your code would look like this:

number[] worklogs = getWorklogIdsForUser(currentUser(),key)
if (size(worklogs) == 0) {
  return false, "You need log time";
}

You can use this plugin for 30 days free of charge.

Thank you will try this out!

HI @Mimi Gebara

Welcome to the community!

We can do this with Field configuration scheme but it will make this field mandatory for each and every screen including Issue create screen as well.

Another option is you can use the Jira Suite Utility add-on, it will provide you can Field Required validator using this you can make the field mandatory only for that particular transition.

Here is the discussion, please have a look at it.
