Do Transition Validators Only Impact the Workflow They're Created On?

Brandon Lambert

I'm new to workflows, I need to add some transition validators to ensure the members of my project are filling out Client Code / Product, etc. (these are custom fields created for the project)

 

I'm a little hesitant to deploy some of the validators I've created because the transition has a shared screen - 

 

My question is, does the validator only apply to the workflow that it is set on?

 

Thank you,

Brandon

Yes.

Very short and blunt answer, but it's right.  A validator only runs when someone goes through a transition in a workflow and all transitions are individual and independent of each other, even within a workflow.  So if you put a validator (or condition or post-function) on a transition, it won't have any effect anywhere else (ok, unless you've deliberately written something that looks elsewhere, but I've never seen anyone do that with a validator)
