Problem Definition
Currently, approvals in workflows ignore validators when transitioning to approved/not approved statuses. Sometimes, however, I want to prevent approval if a validator is not met.
Suggested Solution
Allow this to be configured in the workflow for approvals. A checkbox labeled "Enforce validators for this approval" would be ideal.
Why this is important
Validators help ensure quality data entry and should be able to be enforced at every step of a workflow.

This bug is also affecting Cloud instance, please create the improvement for it as well.
I need this feature. I need validators in place to confirm an Insight Customfield is provided at the time of an approval to properly assign the next approvers needed.
This should be a critical feature from an audit perspective as well - for instance - I totally NEED to have a validator where the Approver cannot be the reporter. This is just an example. Please fix this!
What confuses me is that ProForma's documentation indicates that such validation is compatible with Jira's approvals: https://confluence.atlassian.com/proforma/using-proforma-with-approvals-1087521664.html
If this is the case, and validation is being skipped in these scenarios, then I think Atlassian needs to:
