Is it possible to restrict workflow transition to a specific group based on custom field value?

[Nayan Chauhan]

Is it possible to restrict workflow transition to a specific group based on custom field value? For example, if custom field = Development then only user in "group x" can do the transition and if custom field = Launch then only user in "group y" can do the transition.

Thank you.

Hi @Nayan Chauhan 

It would be possible with jira expression-based validator. There are several options available on the Atlassian marketplace.

I am from Forgappify, and we developed Jira Expression Validator, which is part of the Workflow Building Blocks for Jira app. 

The expression you need would be similar to the following:

if(issue.customfield_x?.value == 'Development'){
  return user.groups.includes("x")
} else if (issue.customfield_x?.value == 'Launch'){
  return user.groups.includes("y")
} else {
  return false
}

You need to change the ID of the custom field to a valid one. In the editor, after 'issue.', start typing the name of the field, and you will get suggestions with the correct value.

I am leaving a link to the app's documentation if you are interested.

I hope it will help.

Cheers

Thank you @Maciej Dudziak _Forgappify_

Unfortunately we would like to achieve this with Jira functionality and not keen on using 3rd party apps.

I understand, but I don't think it will be possible without the app. Perhaps you could try to create a workaround using Automation, although that is not my area of expertise.

Thank you @Sagar for the sharing the posts. I have looked at both and unfortunately I could not find the solution for my problem.

Hi @Nayan Chauhan I have not tried it but below community posts will help get some reference for your requirement.
