How to validate Field b based on field A during workflow transition

[ssam]

Hello everyone,

I have a scenario where Field B needs to be validated only when Field A has a specific value selected. If Field A has any other value, then Field B should not be validated during the workflow transition from Status A to Status B.

I'm looking for an out-of-the-box (OOTB) solution for this. Any suggestions?

Hi @ssam 

You could try setting up two different transitions named similarly that go to exact status, but use conditions and validators.

One idea would be to add a condition to one of the transitions using the value field condition. Then on the other transitions add a condition that does the opposite of the first. 

On the first transition, the first condition would be Field A = specific value

On this transition also add a Validator that makes Field B required

On the other transition it would be Field A != specific value

I think that is the best we can do OOTB, but there might be other ideas out there.

Thanks,

Tim
