How do I force a transition based on a custom field drop down selection?

MisterPariah

Hi All,

I have a simple forked (or nested) workflow with the ways to go. On the transition screen leading to this fork, I have a drop down menu. What I want is that if one option is selected, the corresponding transition will be automatically active. If not (the other 4 options), the second transition is active. Does this make sense? Open to any plugins too if it's not doable out of the box.

You can force a transition based on a custom field content using a post function. Depending on the plugins you already have installed this may require the purchase of an additional plugin to provide the ability to check a customfield content and then update the destination based on that content.

 

An alternative to the enforced transition is to build a custom validator which checks the chosen custom field value and confirms that the destination status is approved.

 

ScriptRunner4JIRA is one possible solution which also opens up several other conditions/ validators and post functions to you.
