Set Help Message on Transition Screen

[Jason Galea]

Hi,

I would like to create help text on a transition screen.

"Please make sure to attach documents"

I am only using the system Field attachment on this screen so I cannot set a description like other custom fields.

Is there a way I can set this using script runner?

Cheers,
Jason

You can use the in-built Message Custom Field (for edit)

Configure this field's value with your custom HTML message.

Hi @Gundlupet Sreenidhi,

For some reason, i don't see those 2 Message Custom Fields on the Advanced Customfield.

Are you sure it;s built in?

I am using JIRA Server version 7.11.2

Cheers,
Jason

Sorry! My bad. 

It is part of a (free) plugin :Toolkit plugin for JIRA. 

You can get it here: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/5142/toolkit-plugin-for-jira?hosting=server&tab=overview

I am running on JIRA Server version 7.12

Hello,

As far as I know, you can do this by writing a javascript code and adding it to the description of the field on field configuration page. You don't need scriptrunner for this.

You can also make the field required on the transition's validator if you have Jira Suite Utilities plugin. Or you can write a custom script validator.

But if all you need is a help text, you should be able to achieve it with a javascript code in the description.
