Creating custom workflow transition logic
In previous recipes, we have looked at using workflow conditions, validators, and post functions that come out of the box with JIRA and from other third-party add-ons.
In this recipe, we will take a look at how to use scripts to define our own validation rules for a workflow validator. We will address a common-use case, which is to make a field required during a workflow transition only when another field is set to a certain value.
So, our validation logic will be as follows:
If the Resolution field is set to Fixed, the Solution Details field will be
If the Resolution field is set to a value other than Fixed, the Solution Details field will not be
Getting ready
For this recipe, we need to have the Script Runner add-on installed. You can download it from the following link, or install it directly using the Universal Plugin Manager:
