Field(s) Required Condition

This condition checks that the selected fields have a value before it can transition in a workflow. If any of the specified fields are empty, the issue can not transition.

For example:

  • You want to ensure the system field Fix Version/s field has a value before the issue can be transitioned to Done. 
  • You have a Purchase Order Number database picker field, you want this to be completed before the issue can transition to In Progress
