JIRA 4.3 : Using validators to make custom fields required on transition screens
This page last changed on Jul 09, 2010 by pwhite.
Use the 'Fields Required' workflow validator that is packaged in the JIRA Suite Utilities. Please note the following caveats regarding validation of data by the 'Fields Required' workflow validator at the time of issue creation:
The reason 3rd party tools are needed is because JIRA's interpretation of "required" from a project's Field Configuration on some custom field means that the field is now required across all screens available to that project, regardless if the screen doesn't actually display that particular field. 3rd party tools, like the JIRA Suite Utilities' 'Fields Required' validator, are effectively a more granular means to control fields at the step or screen level at a project, instead of at the project level by the Project's Field Configuration. |
