Screen does not open on transition when I use a condition, validation required?

Question

I think I'm on the right track, but somewhere I have a reasoning error. I hope you can help me.

There is a status "New Upload" which can be set to "National Release" with the transition "Release". Everything is good so far. Clicking on the transition "Release" opens a screen containing two custom fields with the status "open" or "done". The Open and Done fields are both custom fields with a single choice.

Now to the problem.

I want the jump to "National Release" to only happen when both fields are set to "done". I tired to solve this with a condition, but the result is that the screen no longer opens.

That's why I think I have to solve this by validation and not with a condition.

But the expression does not work.

issue.customfield_10833 == 'done'

What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance.

(I have the JMWE)

Absolutely right. That was the solution. To check the selection field for the value "done", I have chosen the following function:

!!issue.customfield_10833 && issue.customfield_10833.value == "done"

Without "done" it does not continue as desired.

I don't use JWME but from reading the documentation this validator (Field Required Validator) is only for validating that the field is not empty, and the Validator Scope is to define when the field is required (i.e. field is required for issues of type Story). I don't think this validator is for validating that a field has a specific value. See

I think you should able to construct the right type of validator using the Build-your-own option, but I have not worked out the details.

If you want to give the user the option to meet the conditions in the Validator as part of completing the transition, then you add a screen to the transition to present the fields that the user might need to change to meet the conditions.

@Trudy P Claspill

Exactly, I have created a screen in which a custom field has the status "Open" or "Done". The transition should only be performed when the custom field is set to "Done".

But I can't get any further with the validation because the custom field with "Done" and "Open" is probably also a text field, i.e. a string. I don't know how to rewrite the function so that my intention works.

So funktioniert es auch nicht:
