How can I make a field "required" only after a specific state is reached?

John Simonson July 6, 2011

We want to make the "Fix Version" field a required field, but only later in the workflow.

It is possible, of course, to make it required from the start (during Create Issue), but the version is not known at that point in time. But we need to require the field in order to close the issuer (actuallly earlier in the workflow).

Any links or pointers?

Thanks - John.

Add the FieldsRequiredValidator in JIRA Suite Utilities plugin at the relevant workflow transitions.

There is a validator in the workflow that can check that a field contains a value. You can put that in for your close transition.

Good point Nic. You can also add in the the issue is non-editable (is that a real word) once it has been closed.

Make sure you use the same validator in all points in the workflow after that point to - otherwise some bright spark might edit the issue and remove it!
