How to make a custom field mandatory in status transition?

[Tal Kdoshim]

I want to make a custom field mandatory when choosing a specific status -

A custom field to be required when changing the status to "In review", in Bug issue type.

Anyone?

Hello,

You can add the Field Required validator, if you are on Jira Cloud.

If you are on Jira Server, then you would need an add-on. For example, you could use the Power Scripts add-on:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/43318/power-scripts-jira-script-automation?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

You could write a validator wiht a code like this:

if(!hasInput("customfield_10200")) {   
  return false, "customfield_10200", errorMsg;
}
return true;

10200 is the id of your custom field.

You can find more info about validators here:

Thanks Alexey. How do I know if my org uses Jira cloud or server?

If you are on Cloud, then your url is something like this:

yourdomain.atlassian.net

JIRA Suite Utilities (JSU) also allow you to do it along with many other useful features.
