Are required field mandatory for automated transitions?

[Leonardo Sanchez]

hello everyone,

I'm trying to set up a transition that will make a field mandatory once is moved from status A to status B, however, on the same transition there is a trigger already that will automatically transition the status if "Automatically transitions the issue when a related branch is created in a connected repository". 

my question is this: will the automatic transition ignore the required field? or will it stop the automated transition from happening? I only want the field to be required when is manually transitioned. 

thank you.

thank you. while waiting for the answer I found this post:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-questions/Create-branch-trigger-bypasses-post-function-custom-script-using/qaq-p/616701

which says "When a transition is triggered automatically, it ignores any conditions, validators or permissions configured on the transition."

this is what I want, but I don't have a sandbox to test. do you know if that is accurate/still current behavior?

Are you using a plugin to require the field during the transition? It sounds like you want the field to become mandatory when it REACHES status B. If during the transition, yes it will be required if the automated transition requires the field.
