Can I display transition and return error instead of hiding the transition?

[정영환]

If I use conditions I can limit next transition to a user in a custom field(resolution owner in my case). Everyone else won't be able to see the next transition.

If I use validators everyone can see the next transition but I cannot limit the transition to a user in a custom field.  

Can I make the transition visible to everyone, but only users in a specific field can use that transition?

Hi @정영환,

You can set the property for the transition link where you want to limit changing the status between A to B.

You can use the property like

jira.permission.transition.userCF = custom field id (in this case, the Id of Resolution Owner, and assuming that it is a user picker field).

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Vamsi

I changed the transition property like this and changed the custom field to a different user.

but it didn't stop me(Reno) from using that transition.

Hi @정영환

Can you update the property value to 'customfield_10097' and try?

Thanks,

Thank you @Vamsi Kandala
but the property still doesn't affect the transition.

I checked the custom field id. The number is not wrong.

HIi @정영환 

Why do the transitions need to be visible to people who can't use them? They can always click on the View Workflow option to see the full workflow.

Hi @정영환 

What is a purpose that you want to display transition for everyone?

As I understand you validator and condition based on user picker customfield. 

Only solution as I see is using script runner fo jira cloud. In scripted validator you will be able to catch current user who is triggering transition and compare it with value in user picker customfield.

It will be the first time for our customers to use Jira Workflow and I want to reduce the confusion they will face, with everything visible and guided with error messages. I wish I could just train them with a demo session, but I'd like to avoid that effort.
