Can I use workflows to fill in fields on an issue?

Brendan Gray

If someone moves an issue from To-Do to Done, I want them to to have to fill in a field before the issue can be marked as done. This field is essentially "who tested this/double checked it". If someone moves a task to DONE, then this fields needs to be filled in first.

Hi @Brendan Gray , yes this can certainly be done!

On the workflow transition to the Done status, you can add a Field Required Validation which checks that a field has a value before the transition can be made (you can enter your own custom error message if this validation is not met too).

It might also help to add this mandatory field to a separate screen and add that screen to the transition, so that way it's crystal clear to the user that this is the field that they need to add a value for.

Hope this helps!
