Make time spent mandatory for group of developers

Maksym Kalyta1

Hi all,

In our workflow (JIRA 6.3.3), we would to ensure that when a developer resolves the issue, he logs Time Spent. However, since partners also can resolve issues, they are not obliged to record time. So, we would like to add validation like this:

If user in group <developers> then Time Spent cannot be null at Resolve action.

We tried JIRA Behaviors plugin, but it looks like cannot deal with Time Spent field.

What is the best way (Ideally if one can provide an example) to implement this check?

I'd use the script runner to write a "validator" - it should be easy to pick out the current user's group (or role?  Roles are better and easier to use than groups) and whether their update includes Time Spent data.
