Why can't I create a new board in the project?

[Dmitry Linov]

I have Admin permissions in Jira Cloud with several team-managed projects. I need to create an additional board for one of these projects. But when I click on "Create board" and select "Create a board based on an existing project", the drop-down list of projects is empty - the only option is to create a personal board. Why is that?

Hello,

You would need to use an add-on like Power Scripts or Scriptrunner. You could create a custom validator which would implement your logic. Validators work after you push the submit button. If you want to make your applicaton more responsive then you could use Power Scripts Live Fields or ScriptRunner behaviour. In this case your logic would be implement upon changes to the dependent field.

You can read more about validators in Power Scripts and ScriptRunner here:

Make a custom field required based on another custom field is what I want. I will try it. 

Thanks a lot, @Alexey Matveev!

Hi Maggie,

The good news is that you can do that by adding a validator to your 'Create' tansition.

The bad news is that you'll need to apply that validator conditionally, and for that you'll need to do some scripting, which requires a 3rd party addon like ScriptRunner or JMWE.

Also bear in mind that you have to be VERY careful with your validators on "Create" transition because they can prevent issues from being created if configured incorrectly.

@Ivan Tovbin Thanks for your reply!

I want to create an issue in the normal way if the validator is not satisfied, and create the issue with required custom field if the validator is satisfied. Is it possible?
