field validion on edit?

Question

I have a custom field and I can validate that it is 7 numerics during a transition by including this validator:

The field Client Job Number its contents must match against the regular expression [0-9]{7}

But how do I enforce this when a user chooses to edit the record without moving it through a transition?

thanks

However if you want to validate the fields when editing an issue, you will need to use a plugin for that or create a javascript. A good option for this case is the Script Runner plugin:

Hey Paul, I believe you can achieve this by setting a Workflow Validator for this custom field. If the validator fails, the transitions are not executed.

Hope it helps.
