Display a message in the screen at an automation rule

[Eric Roetenberg]

Hi,

I want to create an automation rule that can display a message just like e.g. in a Workflow with a validator so automation rule e.g:

If the status of an issue is set to Done

and Field << 1234>> is empty give the message “Field 1234 must be filled before the story can be set to Done.

Who knows how to do this I know you can send a mail or a Team message but that is not the intention.

Grtz, Eric

You cannot do that with automation. Automation runs after something happens, like a transition, so your item would transition to the Done status first before the automation runs. The only way to show the message would be with a validator in the workflow, or you would need an app like Power Scripts or Scriptrunner.
