Validation IF field was previously populated with xxx date

Is it possible to put a validation IF a field WAS populated with a certain date?

The field are cleared down at a point - Hence the "was populated with"

Thanks

@Rob B ,

This can be done by scripted validator.

Script will be - To check the issue history  for the custom field object there you can check the that field had a specific value or not.

In the script you need use getChangeItemsForField  function which will give you the change history for that custom field which you need to iterate and in the for look you can compare the history values.

Accept the Answer if it helps

Refer this Video  which explain how you can get the history

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager
def changeHistoryManager = ComponentAccessor.changeHistoryManager
def projectManager = ComponentAccessor.projectManager
def project = projectManager.getProjectByCurrentKey("MOCK")

def issues = issueManager.getIssueObjects(issueManager.getIssueIdsForProject(project.id))

issues.each { issue ->
  log.warn "${changeHistoryManager.getAllChangeItems(issue)}"
}

Hi @Rob B 

Do you mean put a workflow validator based on the previous value in your customfield ?

I think you can do it you'il need to get the history of your issue
