Description field permissions in JIRA

[Giles]

Hello, I just wanted to ask if it is possible to configure the project 'Description' field in JIRA so that it can be permissioned to allow a minimum of 150 characters to be entered. I basically want to avoid teammates adding in very short descriptions for their work etc. Thanks

Hello Giles,

I am Nacho and i am part of Decadis team.

This requirement can be easily achieve with a validator from our app Jira Workflow Toolbox.

For this case, a logical validator can be created as follow:

length(%{issue.description}) >= 150

In this way, it will be mandatory to enter at least 150 characters in the description.

This can also be easily done in JWT Cloud if it is what you need.

If you need further assistance in this regard, I encourage you to create a ticket on our Support portal.

Best regards,

Nacho

Hi @Giles

Jira doesn’t natively support a minimum character limit for the "Description" field, but you can enforce it using the following methods: 
1) By using custom script validator(JMWE app) in the workflow transition.
2)By using script runner custom script
