Validating a Single Form Before Transitioning

Question

Previously with the original Proforma forms, you could add validators for one of three states:

* At least one form is attached to an issue
* All forms attached to an issue are submitted
* A specific form is attached (and submitted)

The first two have been added to workflow transition validators but I have yet to find a way to do the last one, where you specify a specific form that you want to be attached and submitted before allowing the transition.

There appears to be no way to do it, even though the promise was that we did not lose any functionality when Proforma was moved over to JSM.

Is this a missed feature or is there a way I am not seeing to accomplish this?

If you are saving the form data to custom fields, you can put your condition on one of those fields being populated.

We do this for one of the forms and it has worked well to block the transition until submitted and the data captured in the fields.

Another option if you are not capturing the data in custom fields or if you are honestly.

Use automation

* trigger* On form submission

* Condition:* check any additional conditions needed

* Action:* edit issue - set a read only custom field to "submitted"

Use a workflow condition to only allow the transition of the request to the next status if the custom field is populated with submitted.

Can we get an answer to this please? The forms automation is not available on cloud despite what has been shown in the following link.

@Peter Preston Please reconsider your answer based on the comment from Ryan. 
This is a missing feature indeed. There is no way to validate one specific form now before transitioning to the next status.
