How do I dynamically limit the ability of a user to transition an issue?

Question

I want to limit the ability of a user to transition an issue from Step 1 to Step 2 depending on whether they meet the criteria for previous selections.  For example, if I choose "US" in a custom field called "Development Team", then I only want users with the project role "US Developer" to be able to transition that issue from Step 1 to Step 2.

Hello @Tim Purkey welcome to the community. You should be able to do with workflow conditions and most likely an additional app like Jira suite utilities.

Using conditions allows you to do AND/OR logical validations to see if certain criteria is met

Hi @Tim Purkey,

The option to use and/or for conditions is a bit hard to find, but it's there.

To find it, create the first condition and then in the view where you see all configured conditions listed, click "Add grouped condition" (i.e. the leftmost icon when hovering over your condition). The end result should like somewhat like this:

Depending on what you want, you'll need to pick "All of the following conditions" (AND) or "Any of the following conditions" (OR).

Of course, if you want to build even more complex conditions, you'll eventually need one of the many apps that support Jira Expressions for conditions. I would recommend Cloud Workflows because I work for that vendor, but there are other options as well.

In any case, I believe your specific use case should just work without any extra apps.

Hope that helps,
