How to configure this workflow
Go to Project Settings and select Edit for the workflow you want to edit.
Select the transition where you want to add the validator. In this case, we will choose the In progress transition.
Go to the Validators tab, and select Add validator.
Select the Fields Required (JSU) validator then select Add.
Now you can configure your validator. Select a field from the Available Fields list, then select Add to add it to the Required Fields list. Here, we added Assignee and Due date.
Select Add at the bottom of the page.
Publish your workflow.
Test your rules
Start setting up a Software release issue for your team.
Fill out only the issue summary for your release and select Create.
Move the issue to In progress. Jira displays an error message since you have configured Assignee and Due date as required fields to perform this transition.
Add an assignee, set a due date for your software release, and check your automation by moving your issue to In progress again. Now, it works!
This was only a sample of how you can use JSU. See the Fields Required documentation for some more examples and configuration screenshots.
