Hi @Mario Amaya ,

=> First thing simply add a New screen in Jira.

=> Don't add any field inside that screen, because in default the comment field is added in the screen.

=> Then in the workflow transition screen add the newly added screen in the transition.

=> And click on the Validators in the workflow and select Field Required validator, inside that select Comment in the Fields Required for transition and give some error message.

=> Finally publish the workflow. Then it will work as you expected.

Comment does not seem to be an option in the required fields box. A selection is required.

hi @Matthew Gaffney , if you leave the screen you are adding blank, the comment is automatically added. So comment becomes the only item in your transition screen.
