Create a workflow validator to require a field on workflow transition

XMLWordPrintable

    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      A popular feature request is that JIRA should be able to require a field only on a specific transition (JRA-5783). Currently field required'ness is determined by field configurations which are scoped by project/issue type.

      An often suggested workaround is to create a validator which checks if a field is empty, and complains if so. There is even user-contributed code that does the job at:

      http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAEXT/Workflow+Validator+to+require+a+field+on+a+transition+screen

      Since it's so useful, we should package this properly as a plugin and distribute it with JIRA, as an 80% interim solution.
