Hi all,

 

I'm wondering if this is possible with Jira Cloud.

 

Basically, I'd like to make a field (Due Date) required only if another field (A custom field with a checkbox that is optional) has been updated. Is there a way to do this?

 

Thanks!

The first question I have is do you want to check the box and in the same screen have the field required? If so you'd need scripting. If you have the jira suite utilites and the checkbox is already filled in you can have 2 transitions; In one check to see if the box is checked and if so send the issue through a transition that requires the field on the transition screen. On the second transition check that the box isn't checked and send it though a transition not requiring the field.

I guess this cant be done in a Jira cloud unless you have some add-on which does the magic.
