It is good practice that when an issue is resolved, the Fix Versions field should be filled in, so everybody knows when to expect the problem to be fixed. The issue is described in more detail here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-5783
Solution
We'll use SIL™ to write a validator for the Resolve Issue transition which check the Fix Versions field.
Step 1
Create a validator for the Resolve Issue transition as described here.
Step 2
Fill in with the following code:
Code Block
if(isNull(fixVersions)){
return false, "fixVersions", "Fix Versions is required when resolving an issue.";
}
