Need to make few fields required on closing ticket only, not during create ticket

Question

Out of the below 4 required fields (I made them required) , I want to make the 2 circled ones as required during closing ticket  , but they show as required for ticket creation itself. Any idea how to change it to make them required only for ticket close and not for ticket create?

Hi, in my previous comment above , I said I do not see the "Fields Required Validator" option. But I could do the same in a different way by selecting the insight option and adding below groovy script per the instruction there.Then I followed the remaining steps in your video at https://youtu.be/RIKYX-z4meM

I also tested that the new popup came (screenshot below) when i tried to close the ticket. But when i hit the "Close" button in that popup without entering any values in the 2 highlighted fields, it just closed without giving me the error message I set up.

Can you see if the below groovy script is wrong ? I used the correct "ID" for those fields.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;

def value = issue.getCustomFieldValue(ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject(10302)); // Change ID to the correct one

if !(value >= 0) {
return "Required!";
}
return true

Hi, thank you. I was able to follow the steps till I came to the below options. I do not see the below "Fields Required Validator" option in my list of options. How do I get this option?

Hi @Sasmitha Chalamala

Take a look at this video tutorial: https://youtu.be/RIKYX-z4meM

Which shows how you can combine a transition screen with a validator.
