Validation of JWT project property

This validator evaluates the value of JWT project property.

The main benefit of using and comparing project properties is, that a workflow can be shared across multiple projects, but the behavior or the possible transitions are depending on the individual projects.

Configuration

Property key

Specify the key of the JWT project property that should be checked in Basic text mode.

Property value

Specify the property value that should be checked against in Basic text mode.

Operator

Select how to compare the value against the given project property. The following options are available:

is equal
isn't equal
contains
doesn't contain
starts with
doesn't start with
ends with
doesn't end with

Validation options

The validation can be skipped under certain circumstances Select one or multiple scenarios in which you want to skip the validation to ensure the correct execution of certain operations.

Option	Description
Skip validation for JWT post functions	If the transition is triggered by a JWT post function, e.g. through Transition issue, the validation will be skipped.
Skip validation for bulk operations	If the transition is triggered by a bulk operation, the validation will be skipped.
Skip validation for clone operations	If the create transition is triggered by a clone operation, the validation will be skipped.
Skip validation for mail handlers	If the create transition is triggered by a mail handler, the validation will be skipped.

Error message

You can optionally define a custom error message in case the validator fails, which will be shown to the user trying to execute the transition.

You have the following options:

Location

Define where the error message should be displayed. By default, the message will be shown at the top of the transition screen, or in case there is no transition screen, as a popup.

Alternatively, you can locate the message below any other field. This option only makes sense, if there is a transition screen defined for the specific transition.

Due to limitations in Jira Service Management, the location parameter will be ignored on Jira Service Management related screens. The location parameter only works for the Create Issue transition screen if JSD version 4.10 or higher is being used.

Message

Define the content of the error message in Basic text mode or Advanced text mode.

In comparison to e.g. our calculated custom fields it is not possible to display HTML here. Displaying links to specific issues, for example, is not possible inside the error message.
