John M. Black added a comment - 16/Nov/07 01:11 PM Please make sure this is not implemented globally. There are many times when I, as a user, know that there are already sufficient comments or other content in the ticket, and there's no reason to enter anything. Forcing me to enter something would be very inconvenient. Also since we use the SVN plugin, we don't even require comments on Fix, because we can always view Subversion Commits for that. If there's a way to give admins the option to do this in workflow that's fine, but don't make it on by default.

David Donn added a comment - 23/Jan/08 12:06 AM - edited One workaround is to implement your own comment validator. This worked for me, though a "proper" solution for comments is still desirable as my solution lacks an user feedback in the initial form about when a comment is required or not. e.g. public class CommentRequiredValidator implements Validator { public final void validate(Map transientVars, Map args, PropertySet ps) throws InvalidInputException, WorkflowException { if (transientVars.get("comment") == null) { throw new InvalidInputException("Comment is required"); } } }
