Validate two fields when an issue is moved from open to in-progress

Abhishek Ramakrishna P

Greetings to all!

I'm aiming to implement conditional validation whereby, upon transitioning an issue from "Open" to "In-progress", validation must occur to confirm that either the "component" field or the "sprint" field has been filled out. If either of these fields has not been filled out, the transition should not be allowed.

 

Can someone help me achieve this.

 

Thanks in Advance

Hi @Abhishek Ramakrishna P 

On the transition from "Open" to "In-progress" you can add a:

Condition

• Value field: Allows to execute a transition if the given value of a field is equal to a constant value, or simply set.

OR

 

Validator

• Field has single value Validator: Field must not be empty during the transition.

 

The difference is that with a condition, the transition is not visible until the fields are filled out (which may lead to confusion as to why one cannot transition from one status to another) whereas a validator allows you to indicate which fields are required and add a transition screen with those fields which allows your user to fill them out.
