Restrict developers from fixed status without a git commit?

Family Lee May 11, 2022

Need the ability to restirict developers from moving the ticket status to fixed without a GIT commit.  Our current deployment model do not use a CICD pipeline.  Therefore, we can't force users to use GIT to deploy the code.

One way we can force users to commit their code to GIT is to prevent their JIRA ticket progression without a GIT commit.

Is this possible in JIRA to check for a GIT commit?

Hi @Family Lee yes this is very possible, providing you have your Jira project connected to a version control system it will track commits and pull requests submitted with a Jira ID in the commit message.  JQL for a connected BitBucket Server 

fixVersion = x.x.x AND development[pullrequests].open > 0

fixVersion = x.x.x AND development[commits].all > 0

Hi @Family Lee I agree with @Craig Nodwell

Even you can use Automation for Jira to transition issues based on specific git interactions like

New Branch = ToDo -> In Progress
Pull Request Open = In Progress -> Validation 
Pull Requect Merged = Validation -> Done

So your team ideally shoudn't move jira issues across the board. Maybe is more about culture problem more than a technical need but with this you could restrinct your team permissions to not move issues across the board
