How do I restrict a transition on Flagged field

Atta.Khalid

I have a workflow which sets field Flagged=Impediment and another which removes it (also Label=Blocked as temporary solution)

I want to restrict transitions to only when Flagged is empty string however the Flagged field is not listed in the workflow transition rule editor (I am having to use the Label=Blocked)

 

I currently have the restriction working on Label=Blocked but the label can be removed by anyone making the restriction useless

Hello @Atta.Khalid 

Do you work in a company or team-managed project?

If you are in a company-mangaed project, then you can switch to the old workflow editor. In the old editor, you can use the 

Regular Expression Check Validator

For regular expression simply choose: false

Or if you want to use conditions, then there is the Value Field condition, again, as a value set: false

If you have more complex logic or want a better validation message, you could use a Jira expression-based validator provided by one of the apps on the marketplace.

I am from Forgappify, and we developed Jira Expression Validator, which is part of the Workflow Building Blocks for Jira app.

The expression you need is as follows:

issue.flagged != true

I hope this is helpful for you, regards!
