Developerment: Are you sure popup before done

Question

Hello,

I'm currently developing a plugin for JIRA cloud. One of the features that I want to implement is "Are you sure" dialog before issue moved to Done.

I couldn't find the right strategy to approach the issue. Can you suggest something, or is it impossible?

Great. That's amazing. Thank you. Is there any way I can use CSS to change the looks of the radio buttons?

Hi Roman,

You can do this without a plugin! When Jira issues transition from one status to another, they follow the rules defined in the conditions/validators/post-functions of their workflows.

* Create a custom field called "Are you sure?" with just an option for yes (radio boxes would be the fewest clicks for the user to do this)
* Create a new screen and add the "Are you sure?" field to it
* Create a validator on the transition to Done (the regex validator should work fine for this)
* Set the validator so that the "Are you sure?" field must have the value "yes"
* Set the transition to use the "Are you sure" screen you created in step 2
* Publish your modified workflow

Now when you execute the transition to Done, you'll get a screen popping up that asks if you're sure. You have to click "Yes" to continue!
