allow only admins to transition issue if status is done (validate transition using behavior)

[ramonde zrihen]

Hi,

I am using script runner 5.6.2

workflow i am using has ALL to ALL transitions

1. I want to add behavior which will allow transition  from status=Done to other statuses only if curentUser projectRole ==admin
2. i dont want to put code for status!=Done through all Workflow in validator or in conditions 
3. when i  use Initialiser at first i get current statusName, actionName, StepName but i dont know how to validate destination transition id i want to prevent. (i know transition id values) - i am struggeling with 

   a.  IssueService.TransitionValidationResult
   b. validate transition -  IssueService.validateTransition(ApplicationUser, Long, int, com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueInputParameters) 

4. all other cases should be allow reporter, assignee or projectAdmins to be able to transition

many thanks !

Hi Ramonde, 

As Bobby mentioned in your support ticket, the only way you can prevent a transition is if there is a screen for that transition. If there is a screen you can use the 'setError' message on this screen to prevent the transition if the users is not an admin. 

You can use the setError function to prevent a user from submitting the form, preventing the transition. However, on review this would still require you to create a transition screen for every status to appear if you are transitioning from done. Therefore, the most efficient way to do this is to use the scripted condition I am afraid, there is no way around doing that without modifying your workflow.

Hello Katy,

i am familiar with these solutions, as i wrote "i dont want ...... through all Workflow in validator or in conditions" or to use screen error, since it forces screen to be opened no matter what
