Define upfront people how validate/review an issue.

Question

I would like to define upfront users how have to approve later an issue.

Imagine there is a step "review" and multiple people should be notified. Afterwards

they come into JIRA and they have a button SIGN/APPROVE.

Once everybody approved the item it goes into the next status.

Is something like this possible in JIRA?

Thanks,

Sebastian

Ok. Thanks a lot. I think I will define only 1 person how can push the approve button. This person has the responsibility to get feedback from all other persons.

Thanks for your help Philipp

You are right: With my solution you would have to define the persons who should sign as custom fields/checkboxes.

This means: You can't specify different persons for different issues. The approval persons are same for an issue type / project.

An other solution would be defining 4-5 custom fields of type "person picker": Named person1, person2, person3,...

and 4-5 custom fields of type "checkbox" named person1 approval, person2 approval, ....

Afterwards you could define up to 4 or 5 people and they could sign off by clicking their checkbox.

But: The check if all have signed and the next step can be processed will become a little bit more complicated...

Thanks a lot Phillipp,

I do not fully understand the following point:

- Defining custom fields/checkboxes for everyone who should sign/approve

Imagine you have a business requirement and you define upfront that there are 4 pre-defined people how should approve. These I could select via the Multi-User Picker and it is saved within the issue.

But now I need a Approval screen as you mentioned and on this screen a button/checkbox which kind of says: Approved/Failed.

Is there any possibility to add this logic based upon the users how have been saved upfront?

Thanks a lot,

Sebastian
