Transition condition from Backlog to Selected for Development doesn't work?

Question

Hi all,

I've been trying add a transition condition that prevents an issue from being moved from Backlog to Selected for Development if the field "Story point estimate" has no value but it doesn't seem to work.

Here's the transition setup:

Thanks,
David

Hello, If you are on Cloud, then there is the Field Required validator. If you are on Server, you would need an add-on. For example you could use the Power Scripts add-on: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/43318/power-scripts-jira-script-automation?hosting=cloud&tab=overview You could add a validator with the following script: )) { return false, "customfield_10200", "Enter Story Points"; } return true;if (!hasInput("customfield_10200" 10200 is the id of the Story Points field. You can find more info about validators here: https://confluence.cprime.io/display/JJUPIN/Customizing+workflows

Hi David, I like your name!

I've tried that but it doesn't work unfortunately.

I've tried the following:

!= NULL (type number)

!= NULL (type string)

>0 (type number)

Thanks,

David

Hello David.

Can you set other type of comparison? Maybe a number comparison does not match with the "not null" check you are using.

Nice regards.
