blocking transitions upon specific field checking

Question

Hey,

I created a new field: "Needs product review?" (which is a checkbox, and you can choose YES whether it needs to be reviewed by the product after QA worked on it).

What I want to happen is once this field is TRUE (Needs product review), a few transitions will be blocked.

How do I do it?

Thanks in advance.

I would highly recommend familarizing yourself w/ workflows. here is a good place to start - workflows

basically these are the steps: (pre-req you need to be an admin)

* project settings > workflows
* click pencil to edit the workflow; use Diagram mode for the purpose of the following steps
* click the transition into the status where you want to have the condition and click on Conditions
* click add condition
* choose Value field
* choose the field and complete the form, save Note: if you have multiple transitions where you want this condition then be sure to repeat steps 3-6.
* publish the workflow saving a copy if desired.

Note: Conditions are used to prevent transitions unless certain preexisting conditions are met. Validators are used to force the conditions/actions (e.g. setting a field) during the transition.
