Jira-misc-workflow-ex – How to validate a custom field value on a transition

Question

Using Jira workflow extensions, how can I validate that a custom field has a particular value?

Example:

If Custom_Field1 = ‘Yes’, then allow the transition to occur, else don’t allow the transition.

Our Jira instance does not have Script Runner (Groovy) installed. So would your suggestion work? We have PowerScript (SIL) installed. Thanks!

If you are using JMWE, you can us the Scripted (Groovy) Validator and just define the custom field logic in the Groovy script section.

issue.getAsString("customfield_1234") == "Yes"
