Workflow validators
This is the documentation for JSU for Jira Cloud. If you use JSU on Jira Data Center, see our Data Center documentation.
Validators determine if a workflow transition can be completed by checking field values, selections, and statuses. For example, they could require that an input follows a specific format, that an attachment is added, or that the Resolution field is not empty. See JSU Rule Builder - Validators to learn more about how to use validators in your workflows. JSU provides the following validators in one rule builder:

Date compare | Compares the value of two date fields | All available date fields Operators:
|
Date expression | Compares a date field against the current date using a date expression |
|
Field value | Compares the value of a selected field with a constant value |
|
Fields required | Checks if a selected field has a value |

Supported fields
JSU supports many different field types: system fields, as well as custom fields.
Note that not all field types or combinations are supported. We are continuously adding more and improving the way we support different field types. If you don’t see a field that you need when configuring your validators, you can raise a request with our support team.
