Hi,
I have a workflow that requires a certain Date Field to be informed to allow a certain transition in a workflow.
If the rule is not met, Jira moves back the issue, but the user might be wondering why is that. I'd like to inform the user in some way that is not an email, that the transition is not posible because a certain field is still empty.
I'm trying to do that using automations, but it doesn't work.
What I've done is:
1.- Create a rule to prevent issues transitioning from Status-A to Status-B if Field-X is empty
2a.- Create an automation to create a comment in the issue when transitioning from Status-A to Status-B if Field-X is empty
and the other way around, just in case
2b.- Create an automation to create a comment in the issue when transitioning from Status-A to Status B
It doesn't seem to work. Why ?
Is there another method to accomplish this ?
It seems like you should be using a workflow validator. If the validator's condition fails, the user is prompted to fix the error before they can transition the issue.
OOTB, in company-managed projects there is a Field Required Validator, which comes with some default validation message.
In team-managed projects there is only a condition-like rule to block the transition based on field value, so it won't work.
If you are using a company-managed project and would like to customize the validation message, we have developed Fields Required Validator, which is part of the Workflow Building Blocks for Jira free app, that lets you do that.
I hope this is helpful for you, regards!
