Prevent ticket from moving to done column unless Time Tracking is complete

Colin Bretagne_6q1fk4

Hi Community

I am using Jira Cloud and I am trying to configure the workflow in my Kanban Board to prevent tickets from ending up in certain columns unless certain fields have been filled out but there is one field that I cannot seem to find and that's the time logged.

Below is a screenshot of the time logged

But when I edit my workflow, I am unable to find the field for time tracking. All I see is Time Spent and it stops my ticket from advancing because I haven't filled in the time spent.

Any help would be grateful.

Thank you

Hello @Colin Bretagne

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Do you want to

force users to add a time entry while they are making the transition, or
require that some time as been logged against the issue at some point but not require more time to be logged during the transition?

Hi Trudy

I just need time logged at some stage before it ends up in the Done column.

Hello @Colin Bretagne,

I am part of the Decadis team and I would like to propose a solution using our app JWT for Jira Cloud.

It should be possible to check if time was logged in the issue with the following expression in a Jira expression validator.

let wk = issue.worklogs;
wk.length != 0 && wk.filter(worklog => worklog.timeSpent > 0).length > 0

This checks that there is at least one worklog and that the time spent in any of the worklogs is more than 0.

Please, note that this expression would only be effective if time is not logged in the transition screen of the transition where the validator is placed. For more information about different approaches, you can also visit our use case Validate worklogs.

If you need more information about it, please, feel free to visit our documentation, reply to us in this thread or to create a request in our Support Portal.
