Validating priority field

[Grant Donovan]

I want to ensure that the priority field is completed on a particular project when the issue is created but this doesn't seem to be possible.

I am using Jira Cloud

When an issue is created it gets set as

Priority: Not Assigned

I want to ensure that this value is changed before the issue transitions to a status.  The Validator Regular Expression Check doesn't have the Priority field listed, so I can't use that one.

How can I ensure that the Priority field has been set to something other than Not Assigned

Thanks

Grant

I can't help with the scripting problem, but, I can suggest a non-programming alternative:

Use the Create Issue post function from Create on Transition for JIRA. Then use %original_customer% substitution variable in the project field.

Thanks! I thought I can just set a fix value in the project field when Create issues with the post function. Makes much more sense than a script with less scripting knowledge :D

Then I just have a short question what exactly I have to fill in the Issue Key field when setting up a Link? The only thing I can't get to work now. I appreciate your reply.

Are you trying to link the new issue to the original issue as a Blocks link? Then use *%original_key%* and *Blocks* for the fields. The pick the link direction you need.

Ignore the *s, I don't know why we don't have wiki markup support in the comment editor.

Can you give us more info on how it's not working?

An easier alternative might be to use the built-in script, "Clone and link" with some "additional code" for setting the project. I think this has been done before.

Ìt's not working like it does nothing .. But got another solution so it's ok. Thank you anyway :)
