Best way to put a validation into tasks

Question

Dear Community,

I am looking into the possibility of the following:

How could I develop a validation which automatically reassigns a task to a pre-specified user and/or drops a notification to a pre-selected distribution list (e-mail preferably)

Thanks in advance,

Kristof

You'll need some code to do that.  ScriptRunner or Automation can probably do most, if not all of this.

But you would not do it as a validator, it's a post-function or listener.  A validator checks things are ok before letting things happen, they should not alter data (This is Jira-speak - validator is an important word here)

Hi @Kristof Szabo

Depending on your needs you could check this options in the marketplace:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.plugin.automation.jira-automation-plugin/server/overview

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.onresolve.jira.groovy.groovyrunner/cloud/overview

Both apps provide a good solution.

Hope this helps you.
