This is the documentation for JSU for Jira Server/Data Center. If you are using JSU on Jira Cloud, see our JSU Cloud documentation.

Description

The ' Fields Required ' validator checks whether values for specified fields are set for a given transition.

Configuration

You must define which fields should be mandatory fields when configuring the transition. JSU default behavior is to apply the context settings; this means that a field that is required by this check, but has no valid context for the current issue, won't be checked. You can choose to ignore the context, in that case, a field will be required by this check even if its context is not configured for the current issue. 

Example

A workflow is configured so that the ' Resolve ' transition has the ' Fields Required ' check where 'Fix Version' is mandatory. If a user attempts to resolve an issue on this workflow, where the 'Fix Version ' field value is not set, the check will fail and no action will be performed.

Optional error message

You can define a custom error message for JSU validators to provide a clear explanation of the situation to your users. If you leave this field empty, a default error message from Jira will be displayed on validation errors. This might be a bit too technical, making it difficult for your users to understand or resolve the error.
