Workflow If then validator

Yves MOUAFO

Hello,

I have the two  following custom fields:

- CF1: checkbox (Values: "Yes", "No") 

- CF2: URL Field
I would like to add a validator to the workflow  as follows:
If CF1="Yes", then the field CF2 is mandatory to transit from state A to state B in the workflow.

Please is there any means to do this with Jira?

Kind regards

Dick

You can use Automation for Jira.

Trigger would be the transition of the issue. We would check if the status transfer is prohibited by your prerequisites. If so, we would restore the ticket to the original status. 

So for this, you would need the history of the status field of the ticket to be able to get the original status back if the mandatory item for the transition is empty. Best to store it in a variable {{originalStatus}}

Checking both prerequisite related entries is possible using the conditional blocks. 

However, your fields are custom fields. these have a somewhat different system name that should be used to address them in the conditional statements:

it would not be cf1 but cf[xyz]. where xyz is a 5 digit number.
You can look these up by using the field in an advanced search issue command and look at the syntax help that pops up while you write the field name. In each Jira instance these numbers are different, so you need to look them up in your instance.

The conditional line in the Jira Automation would look like:

if cf[12345] = 'yes' then...
