Can I set validation from WF if I want to check some condition?

[jun lee]

Hello

My SW development process is that users enter "deploy approver" custom field to obtain deploy approval, and the deploy approver has to check Y/N  "deploy approval" custom field. However, there is a problem that the deploy approver does not check the "deploy approval" custom field, but the user closes the issue.

If the "deploy approver" custom field is not empty and the "deploy approval" custom field is empty, can I add verification conditions of workflow to prevent close?

In sum,

deploy approver field is empty -> OK

deploy approver field is not empty & deploy approver filed is empty -> NO

deploy approver field is not empty & deploy approver filed is not empty -> OK

Regards.

Hi @jun lee ,

We can do it by the help of Teamlead toolkit plugin for jira. 

In the workflow transtion, make use of "Conditional Field Required Validator" or the "Field Required Validator" validators based on your requirement.

Thanks a lot. I will try.

@jun lee ,

Yes you can add the workflow  condition if that field is empty then user wont allowed to close the issue

I want ..

deploy approver field is empty -> OK

deploy approver field is not empty & deploy approver filed is empty -> NO

deploy approver field is not empty & deploy approver filed is not empty -> OK

How should I do?

If you have script runner plugin then you can write script to validate this nested condition. As by default jira does not has this nested condition validator.

You can do it for one custom field but here its a combination of two field which you need to test.

I tried like below image, but it dosen't work. Is this because nested condition?   ENM_DeployApprover is a User Picker field.

@jun lee ,

You need to add condition like this 

cfValues['Some Custom Field'] == 'null' && cfValues['Some Custom Field'] != 'null'

You can also refer snippets which is sample code

I added condition like cfValues['ENM_DeployApprover'] == 'null' && cfValues['ENM_DeployApprover'] != 'null'.

However error message is displayed although ENM_DeployApprove and ENM_DeployApprover are not empty. 

What is problem?

@jun lee ,

As per condition you need to make changes in the operator 

For ENM_DeployApprove and ENM_DeployApprover are not empty. 

cfValues['ENM_DeployApprover'] != 'null' && cfValues['ENM_DeployApprover'] != 'null'.

If its not work then try with 

cfValues['ENM_DeployApprover'] != '' && cfValues['ENM_DeployApprover'] != ''

Both ways are failed.

When ENM_DeployApprover is not empty & ENM_DeployApprove is empty, Workflow proceeded without the validation message.
