Example for a Comment Validator
Let's see how using this validator you can require all users except of the 'jira-developers' group to comment on a ticket when they transition it
- Go to Jira Administration > Issues > Workflows.
- Click Edit for a project where you want to add a validator.
- Select the Diagram view.
- Select the transition where you want to add a validator, the configuration panel appears.
- Select the Validators tab and click Add validator.
- Select the Comment Validator option and click Add.
- Define validator parameters:
- (Optionally) Select group(s) that should be able to skip the comment while transitioning tickets
- Specify an alternative message to show to the users in order to prompt them to comment on a ticket during a transition.
- To save changes, click Publish Draft.
- In the dialog that appears, select whether you'd like to backup project copy, and click Publish.
- That's it.
Now, while making a ticket transition if you are not in 'jira-developers' you are required to comment every time that you are transitioning a ticket.
