How to Add Validation Message When Moving Issue from One Project to Another

[Digvijay Singh Gehlot]

Hi Community,

I want to display a validation message when a user is moving the issue (from More dropdown > Move option) from one project to another.

And how to configure that message with something like "Select Label A in Labels field before moving the issue to Project A"

Can this be possible to configure in Jira Software Data Center via workflow (Validation/ Conditions/ Post-functions), Listeners, Jira Automation, scriptrunner or JSM?

Please guide with detailed explanation if possible to configure and if not, what could be the alternate solution to resolve my concern.

It will be a great help and learning.

Thanks

Hi @Digvijay Singh Gehlot

In your description, you mentioned:-

Please clarify: How do you intend to move the issue from one project to another? Are you using the standard Jira approach to move the issue?

I am looking forward to your feedback and clarification.

Thank you and Kind regards,
Ram

Hi @Ram Kumar Aravindakshan _Adaptavist_ 

Yes, I am using the standard jira approach by moving an issue from one project to another, by clicking on the More drop-down (present on the View Issue Screen) > Clicking on the Move option > Then Selecting Destination Project and Issuetype on Move Issue screen > Then clicking on Confirm.

Is there a way to add a pop-up screen or a validation message saying that "Select a specific label "Test" before moving the issue from Project A to Project B" using scriptrunner?

Thanks

Hi @Digvijay Singh Gehlot

Thank you for getting back and providing your feedback.

At the moment, there is no custom way you can include a validation when an issue is moved from one project to another. 

An alternative that may be possible is to copy the issue from the original project to the destination project instead of moving it from one project to another. When the copying is done, you could add some validation process.

Once the issue has been successfully copied, the original issue needs to be deleted. It's more of a manual process, but if you intend to perform the validation for this, there is no simple way.

I am looking forward to your feedback.

Thank you and Kind regards,
Ram
