Is it possible to block a issue type from moving to a new specific status if checklist is not done?

[Nicholas Rodney]

I would like to ensure that an Issue type can't be moved from "in development" to "ready for QA" on my JIRA board unless the checklist of that issue type has been updated to "Done" for mandatory checklist items.

Hi @Nicholas Rodney,

Depending on which checklist plugin you use the answer might differ.

For Issue Checklist Pro and Issue Checklist Free, there is a validator available that blocks transition if the checklist is not done. 

You can find details in Issue Checklist documentation: https://herocoders.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IC/pages/728039472/Block+workflow+transition+if+checklist+is+not+complete

Hi @Nicholas Rodney 

You can easily do so with Smart Checklist for Jira. Pro using the Automation for Jira.

See the detailed steps described here:

Hello, your example is when every items must be checked. But what if you want to be more precise? By example I have the following checklist : 

# Actions for Scrum
## To Do
+ Ready
## In Progress
- Done in DEV
- Done in INT
- Unit Tested
## Waiting for Review
- Reviewed
- Done in UAT
- Test cases ready
## Waiting for Validation
- Validated
- Done in PROD
## Deployed
- Documentation updated

And I would like that the transition called "Start progress" between the statuses "To Do" and "In Progress" be only actionable if the item "Ready" is checked.

How may I do that? I tried a condition or a validator on the transition in the workflow but without success. For information you are also using JSU, ScriptRunner and Automation (in a Data Center version).

@Rudy Tixhon

In you case you can mark some items as optional in Issue Checklist.

This way, the validator set on a "Start progress" transition will check only mandatory items.

Hi @Nicholas Rodney 

Welcome to the community.

Do you use the add-on checklist for Jira ? If so you use a validator
