Required field on workflow transition with asterisk

[Neil Arrowsmith]

We have lots of workflow transitions that required certain custom fields to be populated, implemented using the excellent Jira Suite Utilities plugin.

The only limitation of this plugin is that the required fields are not marked as mandatory on the workflow screen, as the fields made mandatory by the project's field config are (red asterisk in Jira 4.4). The plugin developer has this issue closed as "Won't Fix", because it isn't possible to change the screen layout from a plugin

Is anyone aware of an alternative method that will provide the same functionality, but also have the field displayed as mandatory? Or are Atlassian planning to add plugin developer tools to do this?

You could try the behaviours plugin, all that is required is creating one global behaviour and enabling the "use validator plugin" setting...

This reads the workflow for JSU requiredness, and will put in the asterisk for you.

Thanks Jamie - that's a plugin i've never looked at before, and it looks very useful.

Another option is the new "Workflow Essentials for JIRA" Plugin. (Disclaimer: Im one of the Developers)

There we implemented the "Mandatory Field Validator" which allows you to make a field required on transition and a javascript will show a red asterisk on the corresponding field.
