How to validate a specific value in field that I created

Question

Hi,

Going to a certain status I want to make sure that a value in the field I created will be equal to a certain value, and if it is not, it will not be possible to move to the next status.

How can this be done?

Regards,

Eitan.

Hi @Eitan yomtovian

In your scenario, the options may be limited with the out of the box validators. I usually use jmwe plugins which provide extra options.

Hi @Fabian Lim

I know that, but in which option I need to choose?

I have 3 value for this field, for example: A, B, C - and only if the user choose the value "C", he can move to the next status.

Thanks,

Eitan.

Hi Eitan,

You can add a Condition to the transition to that status in the workflow. If the condition is not met the user will not see the transition.
