How to make a field value null/clear on the transition screen, leave it editbale, make it required.

Question

I want to clear a field value on the transition screen , make it editable for the user to fill it and make it required.

When user is moving from "Ready to test" to "rework", I want to clear the "Assignee" field on the transition screen, make it editable for the user and required to fill a value.

We have ScriptRunner and PowerScripts pluggins

Hi Arunajyothi,

I can confirm that, unfortunately, you cannot achieve this requirement with the Behaviours feature provided by ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud as it does not yet support transition screens.

However, as a workaround, you can use the Workflow Validators feature that ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud provides to make the assignee field required on the transition screen.

Workflow validators use the Jira Expression framework provided by Atlassian, and I can confirm we have some examples here to show their syntax.

It is not possible to clear it first but you can check if it is changed to a different value and give a custom error message if it is not by adding a message in the in the Validation failed message box.

I hope this information helps.

Regards,

Kristian

Hi Uday,

Unfortunately, Behaviours currently does not yet support Transition Screens in Jira Cloud but support will be coming for these later this year.

Hi @Arunajyothi Samala

You can use behaviours from ScriptRunner.

Try this

getFieldById("Assignee").setFormValue(null)

getFieldById("Assignee").setRequired(true)

Hope this will be helpful.
