Making 'Work Log' mandatory

[Vishnukumar Vasudevan]

Hi All

I need to make 'Time Spent' mandatory in all steps of a workflow.

The issue I face here is, when I DO NOT enter the value in to 'Time Spent' from the first trasition my validator works fine. But If I entered Time Spent in first Step, the validator fails in the all other steps. The reason is, Field already has a value from the First Transition.

FYI : I use JIRA 4.4.1

Any work around to over come this ?

Thanks, Vishnu

Have you tried making Log Work field required (via Field Configuration (Scheme))? Then logging work should be mandatory on every screen, including (I am afraid) issue creation screen.

Alternatively one can devise a small plugin which would inject into a page small javascript file which will make sure that whenever Log Work field is displayed it's non-empty on form submit.

Cool... Thanks a lot. It works. But we have to add 'Log Work' to screens and make it required in Field Configurations.

Issue creation happens as usual.

We have Log Work field required, but there is always someone who skips it by putting a single character in the description, such as - _ or a simple space.
It is possible to set a minimum of characters, to prevent anyone from putting a description of 1 single character?
