Workflow transaction

[Z-EL]

Hello,

 I need in my workFlow,  to move an issue from one status to another , a transition that check  some data in data Base.

Can i make it with jira without  add-ons?

Thank you.

If you can get the value to Jira custom field by using some scripting in the server, then in workflow transition condition, we can use "Value Field" option to check the data.

Thank you for the idea :)

HI @Aswin Achuthan

I can get the value from the server.I tried to add a condition to a transition but i can't link it to my custom field value.

@Z-EL 

Is the field assigned to Jira issues in that project? check if you are able to view the custom field value in the view/edit issue screen.
The option to check custom fields is provided only by add-ons. If you have not installed JIRA Suite Utilities, Misc Workflow Extensions etc.. install any of them.

Updating Jira custom fields directl from database is not recommended, you can try nFeed plugin (if it is external database). They provide support for these add-ons.

Thank you for your response.

I ca see my field in issue screen.

I developed a new validator as an add-on .Actually, i can assign my validator to the transition, but when i move from status to an other, the method validate (method of the com.opensymphony.workflow.Validator) does not called.

I'm not sure if i should use this interface or use com.atlassian.validation.Validator

By the way i followed this example : http://jiradev.com/workflow-validator.html

What do you think? 

Thanks

I think you are facing similar issue mentioned here : Workflow Validator class can not load
