Error on create issue: Reason for reopen required

Rumit Patel

Hi,

I am getting this error while creating an issue: Reason for reopen. Reason for reopen required.

I am using my own screen scheme, field configuration and workflow. All derived from the JIRA defaults with minor updates.

My screen scheme is defined as:

Use my custom created screen (MyProj_Default_Screen) for Create Issue, Edit Issue and View Issue and other default operations. MyProj_Default_Screen does NOT have 'Reason for reopen' field.

MY custom workflow is defined as:

I have a 'Create Ticket' transition which creates a new form and moves the issue to the 'Open' status. This is similar to JIRA's default workflow. So I assume that my Create Issue operation will use MyProj_Default_Screen and corresponding field configuration.

I have my own Field Configuration in which I have made Reason for reopen field (available in JIRA default fields) as 'Required'. However, this field is associated with ONLY MyProj_ReoOpen_Screen and this screen is associated with ONLY 'Reopen' Transition in my workflow.

I am not sure why am I getting this feild required error on Create Issue screen?

Regards,

Rumit

Hi Rumit,

You need to first disable this field being required from field configuration, just as Nancy and Nic pointed out.

And then, you can make it required on the re-open transition by using a Field Required validator in the workflow.

To have the Field Required Validator available in your workflow, you have to install the Jira Suite Utilities Plugin.

I hope this helps.
