Example: Make attachment mandatory depending on the value of certain custom field
Is it possible to use Jira Workflow Toolbox to implement the following validation: In the "Create Issue" transition, the attachment must be required only if a custom field has certain values. The custom field is a select list (let us call it "Color"), so what we are expecting is something like this: when you are creating an issue, the attachment must be required if Color = "Blue" OR Color = "Red". For the rest of the list values the attachment would be optional.
The validation can be implemented using Boolean validator with math, date-time or text-string terms with the following configuration:
Text to be parsed is: %{11900} != "Blue" AND %{11900} != "Red" OR {00135} > 0
Note that:
- %{11900} is code for custom field "Color". This code dependes on each particular Jira instance.
- {00135} is code for numeric value of virtual field "Number of transition attachments".
Virtual field "Number of attachments" (field code {00073}) may also be used, since at transition "Create Issue" both virtual fields contain the same value. Anyway, if you intend to implement this validation in other transitions, you should use virtual field "Number of transition attachments".
Once configured, the transition "Create Issue" will look like this:
Other examples of that function
- Block a transition until all sub-tasks have certains fields populated
- Block an epic's transition depending on linked issues status and due date
- Block or hide a transition for an issue depending on its issue links
- Block or unblock a transition after an issue rested a specific time in a status
- Block transition until all sub-tasks are in a specific status category
- Close parent issue when all sub-tasks are closed
- Enforce a field (Select List) to be set when another field (Radio Button) has a certain value (works with any kind of field type)
- Ensure that all issues linked with a certain issue link type have "Due Date" field set
- If field A is populated then, field B must also be populated
- Limit issue creation per role and issue type
- Limit the number of hours a user can log per day
- Limit valid dates for work logs
- Make "Time Spent" field required when there is no time logged in the issue
- Make a custom field mandatory when priority is "Critical" or "Blocker" and issue type is "Incident"
- Make attachment mandatory depending on the value of certain custom field
- Make different fields mandatory depending on the value of a Select List custom field
- Make linked issues, sub-tasks and JQL selected issues progress through its workflows
- Make parent issue progress through its workflow
- Prevent issue creation if another issue with same field value already exists
- Reject duplicated file names in attachments
- Require at least one sub-task in status "Resolved" or "Closed" when "Testing required" is selected in Check-Box custom field
- Require issue link when resolving as duplicate
- Restrict parent issue from closing if it has sub-tasks that were created during a given parent issue status
- Restrict sub-task type creation depending on parent issue status
- Restrict sub-task type creation depending on parent issue type
- Set a condition in a global transition which only applies in a certain status
- Validate a custom field "Story Points" has been given a value in Fibonacci sequence
- Validate compatible values selection among dependent custom fields
- Validate only issue links created in transition screen
- Validate that multi-user picker custom field A does not contain any user in multi-user picker custom field B
- Validation and condition based on time expressions
- Validation based on the value of a date type project property
- Validation on issue attachments
- Validation on MIME types of issue attachments
- Validation on sibling sub-tasks depending on issue type and status
- Validation on the value of a Cascading Select field
