Change screen functionalities

Paul Wiggers

Hello all,

We would like to have agents fill in certain fields when they are transitioning an issue. We have created screens, custom fields and set everything up accordingly.

However, we still notice that agents are also filling in the comments during the transition. Is there a way to remove the comment field from the transition screen? We have set the comments denied permission on the target status, but this doesn't change the screen layout.

The other thing that we would like to do is to make it mandatory to fill in the fields in the screen, without making them required in the issue itself. Is there a way to mark the fields required, only in the screens?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Paul Wiggers ,

Create a new screen and add all the required fields which should be updated by agents.

Now go to the project required workflow in edit mode, click on the transition and add Field Required Validator and select what all fields are mandatory. 
Now add the newly created screen to the workflow transition and publish the workflow (https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/map-a-screen-to-a-workflow-transition-in-jira-720634253.html)

Now when the agent transitions the ticket, a new window with the created screen will pop-up and until agent fills all mandatory fields, it will not transition the ticket.
