Description
Conditioned Validator is a validator that supports powerful regex pattern matching conditions including JQL query and Substitution variables similar to the Update issues and Create on Transition for Jira post functions. A JQL query can be useful to determine the existence of issues or to find specific issues to participate in the determination of whether to proceed with the transition.
The configuration of this validator is grouped into the following configuration settings tabs:
Conditions & Configuration - Allows you to define one or more conditions, each of which must be satisfied (true) for the transition to proceed. If not, an error message is displayed to the user.
Messaging - Allows you to enter useful information for the user or notes for the administrator about the validator.
Variables used in validators
Validators are more likely to use the transition variables to access the screen values since the issue field values still represent the former values. Use original to prefix substitution variables not on the transition screen and transition to prefix substitution variables that are on the transition screen.
