Is it possible to make fields mandatory in edit screen after a transition in which they r mandatory?

Hi All,

Lets ay F1 and F2 fields are mandatory when moving the Jira ticket to Stage2. After moving the ticket to Stage2, is it possible to make F1 and F2 mandatory in Edit screen?

Regards,

Satya

Hi,

There is no such setting to make mandatory in the edit screen, because the edit screen can be opened at any time.

I do understand what you want to do though. You can solve this in several ways:

1. Take F1 and F2 off the edit screen and only on transition screen

• Result is that they can only be set in transition to Stage2
• They can't be cleared or changed from edit anymore

OR

2. Leave F1 and F2 on the edit screen but put a validator on each following transition (starting from Stage2) that F1 and F2 have to be filled out.

So even if someone clears F1 or F2, next transition it will still have to be filled out.

I personally prefer option 1 :-).

Hi @satyanarayana_singamsetti 

the answers from Jeroen are correct. 

Another way to be used would be ScriptRunner behaviours. However, this requires that ScriptRunner addon is available in your Jira instance. If that is the case, you have a powerful tool for making fields required on specific steps or status values. This would allow the user to see that the fields are required on the edit screen. 

Please note that ScriptRunner behaviours run in the users browser and require JavaScript to be enabled. If JavaScript is disabled, the behaviour will not be executed and the fields might not be required in that case.

See here for more details: Behaviours

Specifically for your use case: Field Required

Hope this helps!
