Time Spent field Compulsory

Question

We are using Log work of Jira Feature, need to validate Time Spent has entered by developer after development done

we are trying to add this in workflow (while developer status changed to QA Testing) using Required field validator, we are selecting field TIME SPENT field as required in Jira, but it is not validating.

Can you please help to make Time Spent field compulsory

Thanks,

Harshad

Hi Harshad,

Do you have the Work Log field on the transition screen? If yes, I’ve answered a similar question here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Re-Ensure-Time-has-been-logged-on-Transition-to-Closed/qaq-p/2838858/comment-id/1059171#M1059171

Hi @Harshad!

You might consider using time-tracking apps that often have validators for such cases.

I can recommend our Clockwork Automated Time Tracking & Timesheets Pro, app, which offers a workflow validator that I think does what you are looking for.

The Clockwork time logged validator can be set on any transition in a workflow to ensure that time spent is logged before an issue can be moved to another status, regardless of whether the issue is being transitioned manually, via automation, or with an API call.

For details, you can refer to the documentation here.

Our app offers much more features which you might find useful. If you have any questions, let us know.

Cheers,

Gracjan
