Is it possible to input a notice when transitioning from statuses?

Gustavo Cardoso Ferreira October 14, 2021

I'm creating a workflow, and would like to input a sort of warning when transitioning from a a status to another.

Something similar to what a screen is.

@Gustavo Cardoso Ferreira -

You can implement a custom screen and associate it with your transition.  Here are the steps -

1) Create a custom field (Type - Message Custom Field (for edit)) and setup default value for the field with the message that you want to display.  Of course set the context to your project/issue types.

2) Create a custom screen and just expose the custom field.

3) Associate the custom screen with your WF's transition(s).

Hope this helps.

A validation on the workflow allows you to display an error message. It would be a workaround, but you might be able to create a validation that is always true for that particular transition. That would display just a message, rather than a screen to enter data.

Hi @Gustavo Cardoso Ferreira 

You can't do that with the out of the box Jira. You can either look for an app, like JMWE which provides a similar post function (will be displayed after the transition).

As a workaround, perhaps you could create a multiline text field or something similar with a default text value.
