JMWE - Add a Condition to a Validator to check previous status

[Jeanne Howe]

We have a Required Field Validator on our workflow. We would like to add a condition to the Validator so that the field is required only if the previous status = Ready for Release.

How do I write a condition to look at the status the issue is transitioning from?

Hi @Jeanne Howe 

You can use this:

originalIssue.get("issuetype").name == "Ready for Release"
