Create validator or conditions using JMWE in workjflow

[Nicolas Andika]

Dear all,

I want to create validator or conditions where when the reporter wants to transition the issue from status to do -> ready to approve, but the reporter must not be the reporter for another ticket that still be in in review status? 

can we make it happen using a jira expression or jql in validator or conditions with jmwe?

Thanks

Regards,

Nico

Hi @Nicolas Andika 

Unfortunately, on Jira cloud, conditions and validators can only be written using Atlassian's Jira Expressions language, and that language doesn't support running JQL queries (for performance reasons). Therefore, your requirement cannot be implemented using JMWE or another workflow app.

Hi @David Fischer 

Do you know how to make the requirement above can be achieve?

Although I never tried it myself, I believe it could be done by building your own Forge app that would implement the validator (Atlassian recently added support for custom validators in Forge)
