Can we hide workflow status based on validator condition?

Question

We have a requirement to hide one of the workflow status in view screen based on the create screen's radio button custom field yes or no option.

Can we achieve this through workflow validator condition on transition? Or What is the other possibility without third party add on?

Hi @Sandesh TM ,

Assuming you have a custom radio field called "Test Radio Button", with possible values "Yes" and "No".

If you want to hide the transition when "No" is selected, add a "Value Field" condition to the transition and configure it like in the screenshot below.

I hope this works.

Best regards,

Kris

This is what conditions are for, not validators.

A condition is evaluated every time someone lands on an issue screen that might offer transitions to the user.  They're simple true or false questions.  When true, the transition is offered, and when false, it is removed from the options.

A transition can have many conditions, but all of them have to return true for the transition to be offered.

Note that there is an invisible but always used condition of "user has permission to transition issues in this project".

So, what you need is a condition that says "is value of custom field X is filled (true) or empty (false)?". There's one of these built into Jira, look for "value field" when adding a condition into your workflow.

Hi @Sandesh TM

You can't hide a status of an issue based on a field value on a screen.

I don't even see that Script Runner offer the option to do this, and I probably grasp why. As it is important to know the status of an issue.

You are able to hade the possibility to hide a transition, as mentioned already by @Kris Dewachter
