How to make a custom field required only on closing of an issue?

[Alexander Ivanov]

Hi, guys!

I wanna make field Date of completion (a custom field) required only on the screen of closing issue. 

So, i've removed that field from the screen of creating issue and moved it to the screen of closing issue. 

And when i make new issues there is an error that Date of competion is required, but there is no that field on the screen.

How can i solve it?

Thanks!

Hi @Alexander Ivanov

You can use Validators for this use case.

Forgot to mention that the field required validator comes from the JSU plugin - https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-make-jira-applications-fields-required-in-a-workflow-transition-691011903.html

To make a field required in a transition you need a plugin. JIRA suite utilities or Behaviors are two that come to mind.  The field configuration scheme controls fields that are required upon CREATION, it has nothing to do with what is on the screen.

Hello ,

I am trying to set up a validation based on a field and restrict the workflow accordingly. 

In server version, do we have any free add-ons or out of the box solution to fix this ? 

I am unable to locate the JIRA applications Suite Utilities add-on mentioned in this page.

Thank you,
