    • Our product teams collect and evaluate feedback from a number of different sources. To learn more about how we use customer feedback in the planning process, check out our new feature policy.

      Problem Definition

      Cannot force the transition validator to validate more than one checkbox. When using a checkbox custom field with multiple values, you cannot add validator on this field to validate all the values of the field. It's only possible to create a validator to check the field itself and when transitioning the issue, if only one checkbox is marked, it will transition the issue properly instead of throw the error informing to mark all checkboxes.

      Suggested Solution

      Provide the ability to add a validator to check all the values from a checkbox custom field.

      Workaround

      • Create one custom field for each checkbox value and create a validator to each of those custom fields.
      • Use conditions instead of validators.

            Please consider getting this implemented.  When the 3rd party for checklists is used, you see the option withing Jira to add it as a validator option.  If it doesn't work, you should remove the option. There are 2 options to choose for the add-on and they appear right at the top to boot!!  When a person sees it listed, the assumption is that it will work as expected.  Thank you.

            Its impossible this has so few votes. Workflows conditions, validators and post-functions lack so many basic features.

            Ok... so this only has 4 votes. That means this must already be an issue on another ticket. Can someone provide me with a link to the best issue to vote for this?  This is IMPORTANT! Without validation of a checkbox, it basically makes them useless.

            Thanks,

            Indeed, very desirable feature. We would like to use it in our projects to make sure that when a user moves an issue from one column to another on the board, the user performed all actions specified in each checkbox. It can be used as a checklist. For example, can serve as a definition of done checklist.
