Run a validator only on issues created after a certain date

Question

I want to have a validator run on issues created after a certain date.    I have tried adding a condition to the transition but that would prohibit issues created before the date from being able to be transitioned (not what I need).

If Issue created >= 2023-01-01 00:00 then run validator else allow transition

So it seems the required field not "validating" on edit of issue is working as designed.  IMHO, bad design.   See this article.  Required field only working on create not update of issue

In doing some more digging I found this Wanted to add condition for validator.  Going to give this a try and see how it goes.

Thank you all for your time and expertise.  I enjoy reading the questions and answers from this community...so much knowledge shared is a beautiful thing.

@Penny H-D Looking at yours it appears there is not a default value.  This will remove the ability to have "None".  The only way out-of-the-box for Jira Cloud to remove "None"  is to mark the field as Required and with a Default Value.

Hope this helps!

RE:  "some mandatory fields on create"  meaning I have field configuration of required on the create workflow -  yes.

Attached are screen shots of field configuration and field defaults.  The field is marked required, the option of None still appears, cloning of issues where the value is None does not prompt for the value to be updated.  None seems to be accepted as a valid value to satisfy the required rule.  I also did not add None as an option.

Scheduled automation - I don't want it to run at a certain time of the day, the mandatory field should be checked during edit/transition but it is not behaving in the anticipated way.

I wanted to add a validator as I don't see an option to provide a screen prompt on automation rules.
