Can I have story points be mandatory once a ticket changes to a different status?

[Ivette Murphy]

I do not want story point estimates to be a mandatory field for when tickets are being created.

I would however like to know if, once a ticket changes from open to groomed, if this field could be made mandatory?

Thx,

Ivette

Hi @Ivette Murphy ,

You can do it using workflow validator.

Hi @Ivette Murphy ,

Yes that can be done. 

Check the field configuration of the issue type. If "story points" is required, make it optional.

Then go to the workflow transition, Open ---> Groomed . Add a transition screen which has the field "Story points". Add a workflow validator ( may be Field required validator ). You can make the field mandatory during the transition.
