Require parameters
If the destination state has been configured to require the setting of one or more workflow parameter values the workflow popup will display a warning for the transition.
If the transition option is to a single state the Submit button displays a warning icon.
Choosing the Submit button opens a text box to enter the value of the required workflow parameter.
The Change state button is enabled when a value for the workflow parameter is added.
An approval decision button is displayed with a warning icon if the destination state requires the setting of one or more workflow parameters.
Choosing the approval decision with the warning icon opens a text box to enter the value of the required workflow parameter(s).
The decision button is enabled when a value for the workflow parameter is added.
The required parameters for entering a state will only be prompted if a user is performing a workflows action such as approving/rejecting or state selection. If a state is transitioned by a trigger, like a page update, the required parameter check will not be carried out.
Once a parameter value has been set, it will not be prompted for again unless the saved value is removed
