Make a field mandatory for features when they are moved to any status.

[Aniket Hande]

I need a validator or any solution where the field should be mandatory when entered a new status if the field is blank it should show a popup to enter the value.

HI Aniket - Welcome to he Atlassian Community!

I would create two transitions going to the status, one with a condition that says the field is not empty. And a second one that says the field is empty. On this second one, you can add the transition screen with the field that needs populated. Also add a validator for this transition that this field is required.

I have added one screen which just has that custom field how do I create the condition one can you please explain it to me with images. I started on Jira this week only

[Aniket Hande]

@John Funk please is there any validator script for this ?

[Aniket Hande]

@John Funk pls i need it urgently

[John Funk]

You don't need a script - just add the two conditions and the validator. It's all built in

[Aniket Hande]

@John Funk  Please explain it more clearly and if possible with images as I was assigned Jira task this week only

Sorry - will do.

1. Create a screen with the field that you want to be mandatory and save it. You do not need to add it to any schemes. 
2. Go to Settings (gear icon) and then Issues.
3. Then select Workflows on the left-hand side
4. Then search for the workflow used by that project.
5. Then click the Edit button 
6. Click on Diagram if it is not already selected
7. There should already be a transition to the status, click on the line/transition
8. Then click on Validators in the popup on the right
9. Then click Add validator
10. Select Field Required validator and then click on Add
11. Find the field and click Add and then the bottom Add button
12. Click on the tab that has your workflow diagram
13. Then click the Edit button in the popup. 
14. Add the screen from step 1 above that has the field that you want populated. And then click Save.
15. Finally, click the Publish draft button to publish your workflow.

I need a script in validator or in behaviors as we cannot add plugins

[Tansu Akdeniz]

@Aniket Hande field required validator is a default feature in Jira Cloud. Please go to workflow -> transition -> validators -> add validator.

[Aniket Hande]

i am not working on jira cloud i am working on the basic one where it doesn't have field required validator 

[Aniket Hande]

@Tansu Akdeniz  please is there any validator script for this solution?

[Aniket Hande]
