Prevent moving a story to "Done" status if there is no comment added.

[Ryan Adarlo]

Is there a JIRA automation that would prevent moving a story to "DONE" status if there is no comment added?

Hi @Ryan Adarlo 

Yes you could create tis, but its simpler to set a validator on the workflow.

Use the ootb Field required Validator

Hello Ryan,
