Not allow issue to move into "In Progress" if...

Simas Jokubauskas January 10, 2021

We are using:

Jira Cloud (Next-gen project) (Kanban).

Is it possible not allow to move issue from "To Do" to "In Progress" if story point estimate filed is not filled?

These things you would typically do from the workflow -- find the transition you want to limit, and add a Validator to it, something akin to "Story Points" required.

Then when you try doing this transition it will validate and stop it if story points are not filled in.

 

I would though be more cautious about what validators you add - this could make people put made up numbers just to skip it, which can start giving you wrong false velocity metrics.

Just to mention - make sure that the Workflow you are applying this to is used in only projects you want this validator for. If it's shared then you might want to make a copy of it so that the validator only really runs where it's supposed to without affecting others.

Well considering its a NG project it's probably not shared ;-)
