JIRA fields required in a workflow transition without plugin

[Ricardo Cerceau]

Hi all.

Is it possible to create any validation when doing a transition without using plugins or with a free plugin?

[Alexey Matveev · Accepted solution]

It depends if you are on cloud or Server.

if you are on Server, have a look at such plugins as Groovily or MyGroovy

[Ricardo Cerceau]

Thanks Alexey. I will look at this add-ons.

and Yes, server version.

Hi Ricardo,

If you click on a transition you will see the pop-up box appear for options for that transition. 

Choose Validators. Then Add validator.

When you get the list of Validator types, choose Field Required Validator.

I hope that helps!

I assume the field Validation available natively in the workflow is insufficient?

[Ricardo Cerceau]

Thanks Jack. Am I wrong? Do we have a native solution when transit one story to "Pending" to check if some fields are not empty (pendency date, pendency team, pendency reason).

[Jack Brickey]

I must be missing your requirement but as written it seems you just want to ensure a field isn't empty or must be modified to allow transition. Assuming I am not off base here, the following options should meet the need. 

[Jack Brickey]

ah, but i seen you are on server so maybe those don't exist? that would be unfortunate for sure as they are quite useful.

[Ricardo Cerceau]

Okay Jack, but this option is not available for me.

Thanks for your help.
