How to set comment as required field on transition

Stefan Bogdan Cimpeanu

Hello,

I need to make the Comments field mandatory on a transition, so that a new comment needs to be added when transitioning an issue.

I've created a screen that contains the Comment field, added the screen on the transition, and using Validator I've set Comment as required field.

However, now, when I want to use that transition, I get the screen, I add a comment, but when I want to transition, I get the following message: Comment is required. But it is not present on screen.

Any suggestions please?

 

Thanks,

Bogdan

It may be because the comment field is dynamically added to all transition screens by JIRA so the validator is looking at the stored screen definition and doesn't see the comment field on it. When I want a comment for a specific transition I create a text field for that transition and make it required. That also makes it easy to find the comment related to the transition. I don't recommend making a comment required on all transitions; you'll just upset your users.
