JSU for Jira Server/Data Center

This is the documentation for JSU for Jira Server/Data Center. If you are using JSU on Jira Cloud, see our JSU Cloud documentation.

Description

The Fields Required validator checks whether values for specified fields are set for a given transition.

Configuration

Define which fields should be mandatory for the transition. JSU’s default behavior is to apply the context settings; this means that if a field is required by this check, but has no valid context for the current issue, it won't be checked. You can choose to ignore the context, in that case, a field will be required even if its context is not configured for the current issue. 

Example

A workflow is configured so that the Resolve transition has the Fields Required check where the Fix Version field is mandatory. If a user attempts to resolve an issue on this workflow, where the Fix Version field value is not set, the check will fail and no action will be performed.

Example configuration of the Fields Required validator as described on this page.

Optional error message

You can define a custom error message for JSU validators to provide a clear explanation of the situation to your users. If you leave this field empty, a default error message from Jira will be displayed on validation errors.
