Set mandatory fields if specific resolutions is selected

[Jessica Chapados Arseneault]

Hey ! 
I'm fairly new to the background of Jira, been working with it for 10 years but was always the user, never the magician behind the scenes. 
So my question to you all today: 
I want to make a Workflow where: 

If i set the resolution to duplicate, it'll make the ''Linked issue'' field mandatory

And If i set the resolution to fixed, it'll force the user to input something in another field. 

Thanks in advance !

Hi Jessica,

Welcome to the world behind the Jira curtain!

Jira's built-in features don't directly support making fields mandatory based on the selected resolution, but some apps can help with this.

Do you have JMWE, JSU, or ScriptRunner installed in your Jira instance? These apps can add extra workflow features and could be used to achieve what you're looking for.

Hi @Jessica Chapados Arseneault 

It is not possible out-of-the-box, but if you have an app with a Jira expression-based validator, it can be accomplished quite easily.

For example, your expression might look like this:

issue.resolution?.name == 'Duplicate' 
? issue.links.length > 0
: (issue.resolution?.name == 'Fixed' ? issue.customfield_10000 != null : true )

I am from Forgappify, and we developed Jira Expression Validator, which is part of the Workflow Building Blocks for Jira app. 

I am leaving a link to the app's documentation if you are interested.

Cheers
