nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

How can I make fields required on a transition screen, but not required on the edit screen?

Justin Corcoran

I know I've done this before, but I can't figure it out now. I have some fields that I put on a transition screen, and when that transition is made, I want the fields to be required. I also want those fields on my edit (and view) screens, but I don't want them required on the edit screen (you may be editing before you know how to fill in those fields).

Can someone please remind me how I managed to do this in the past? Thanks!

Workflow validators. Look for one that says "field(s) mandatory". There's one in the Jira Suite Utilities, but there are other plugins that provide them as well.

Thanks as always Nic!

Fair, we only got you half an answer :-)

OK, thanks. I'm going to un-check "answered" in case someone else remembers a plugin that will help, but have an upvote for your time :-)

JIRA Misc Workflow Extensions - "field has been modified validator".

It didn't seem to work with some fields for me, though (including "Remaining Estimate"), but maybe they've fixed that since the last time we upgraded.

I am trying to make a custom field required upon transition, however I do not see a "field(s) mandatory" option in validators. The only options I have are:

Complete Session Validator
Permission Validator
User Permission Validator

Am I looking in the wrong place?

Thx!

The answers given above on this question answer that - right place, but you need addons

Found it! Thank you

Atlassian has added this fix to the road map (even though paid plugins are available for the same problem)

Workflow Essentials for JIRA also has a Validator for that. It supports basically all Custom Fields and some system fields as well (Description, Affects Version, Fix Versions, Labels, Due Date, Comment). Additionally it will mark required fields with a red asterisk just like globally required fields.

Hi there,

You can refer to this page https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-make-jira-applications-fields-required-in-a-workflow-transition-691011903.html to give the workaround or resolution a try.

Thanks,
