Preventing Transition IF time has been logged

[Esteban Halabi]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to prevent a specific transition from happing using a workflow condition.

The idea is that users shouldn't be able to use this transition if there has been time logged on the ticket.

I've tried the following combinations for the conditions but I can't get them to work

Field - time tracking

Condition -  <=

Value - 0

Comparison type -  String/Number

Field - time spent

Condition -  <=

Value - 0

Comparison type -  String/Number

Field - Log Work

Condition -  <=

Value - 0

Comparison type -  String/Number

None of these seem to work transition is NOT showing up for issues even if they do not have time logged.

Extra Note: I do not know if this has any impact but the instance is running with tempo for time tracking.

Hi @Esteban Halabi ,

use Time Spent and the “=“ function then leave the value blank 

[Jack Brickey]

The time spent field does not actually have a value of zero prior to any time logged, but rather, it is empty.

Oh gosh, thank you! so simple!

That did the trick! I totally missed that.

If you want to allow the transition to happen, then you must use >= 0 and not <= 0. Using the latter means that users will be able to use the transition if the time spent is less than or equal to zero. But you want the opposite.
