Cannot close a Jira issue due to required filed

Gil_2dvf2c

Hi.

I have an issue type called 'Spike', which is a like a research type issue.

It shares the same workflow with all other issue types in a Jira project.

Some of the other issue types have a workflow validation that checks if the Fix Version is populated before closing the issue.

The problem is that I don't want the Spike issue type to have the Fix Version as required.

I only want the Fix Version required for other issue types in the same project.

How can I fix this?

Do I need to create a separate workflow for the Spike issue? or is there a simpler way?

Hi @Gil

I'm suggesting you to go with a seperate workflow..if you want same just copy it and take out that validation

That'll work

Regards,

Kevin.

@Gil , You can achieve this by using boolean validator or script validator to exclude your project from validating for the close transition.

If you have JMWE add-on installed, use 'Fields Required Validator' where you can specify your project that needs to be excluded.

Thanks,

With scriptrunner you can make a validation depending on a condition.

There are many options, some of which were suggested above

Use two different workflows. While this seems complex, it has the advantage of not needing any additional addons to work
Use a condition on the validator. You will probably need an add-on/plugin. Many plugins give you options to create more complex validators. A few were suggested above
in your workflow, use 2 different transitions and put conditions on them to make only 1 valid for each issue type. Then only put the validator on one of them.

There is more the one way to do it.

Unfortunately, I cannot create a new workflow for it.

Sounds interesting, but not sure I understand.

I use automation for jira add-on, so I cannot add JMWE at this stage.

Can you please elaborate on the boolean validator?

Thanks for the suggestions.

No.3 could work out well for me.

Thanks.
