Can Jira automation be used to make a specific custom field mandatory?

Hello,

Can Jira automation rule be used to make a specific custom field mandatory when transitioning an issue from one status to another?

For example if I transition my issue from 'Open' -> 'In Progress' I want the user to make sure Due Date has been populated.

 

kind regards

Hi @Amrik Birdi 

Automation cannot be used to make fields mandatory. However, you can use automation to trigger post-transition actions such as adding a comment or sending an email etc if a field is left empty.

Requiring fields can be achievable via workflow validators.
