Workflow Validator for Required Field

[Lindsay Edwards]

I am working on creating a workflow validator when transiting a story to Done. I need to require the custom Story Points field to be filled out. 

if (issueType=="Story") {
if (hasInput("customfield_10106")) {
return true;
} else {
return false, "Required Field: Story Points.";
}

}

Using SIL Scripts I was able to get this Validator script to work but it works to well. There is a problem, this screen popup to update required fields before moving to next status, but once these required fields are updated even though after updating these required field whenever again we have to move to that transaction again that screen popup even though those required fields are updated.

Hi @Lindsay Edwards ,

Welcome to Atlassian community!

Why you are using script for this, It can be achive by the Jira inbuild function.

Simple you need to add one validator for requried field.

I tired that also:

string errorMsg = "Please input Story Point Value.";
if(!hasInput("customfield_10106")) {
return false, "customfield_10106", errorMsg;
}

}

It gave me the same issue.

Hi @Lindsay Edwards ,

Can you please share the screenshot, What was the error you are getting..?

How you are adding..? As per my understanding, you can normally, select the story  point field requried then it will apply in the workflow.

Thankfully I was able to figure it out with some help from a coworker. 

if(issueType == "Story"){
if(isNull(%key%.#{Story Points}))
{
return false, "Required field: Story Points";
}
}
