Status Transition - Restrict when a field is a specific value - Conditional

[marianna_taborda]

Hey there guys!

Hope you're doing well. I've been trying to work on restricting the workflow to a specific status, by restricting this transition unless a given dropdown has some specific values. There are three values that could lead you to say, status "approved". 

I've tried setting a specific rule for each applicable field value, but it doesn't seem to work. Unless I have a single rule, the status are always hidden. 

Maybe this is just a Jira limitation, that doesn't allow me to set it up conditionally, and I must state 'static' rules, but keen to get confirmation before I loose any more time on this. 

Thank you!

Hi @marianna_taborda 

Use a Validator

What a facepalm moment on my end! 

Thank you so much for the reminder - this worked like a charm, tbh.

Hi @marianna_taborda 

To clarify what you need to do: You have a drop down field with three values. Status in your workflow cannot be changed, unless a specific value has been selected from drop down field.

To continue with the answer, you can do this with the Restrict when a field has a specific value.

Thank you @Nikola Perisic , I was able to make it work using a validator, instead of a restriction rule. I was working on the restriction rule for a while now, to a point I failed to explore other options. 

Thank you for the interest anyhow <3
