How to satisfy the workflow required field when sync-ing Status?

Originally asked by Hung Nguyen on 24 October 2019 (original question)


When we use Status.send() and Status.Receive() with a Status map, if a transition requires a certain field to be there, how can we satisfy it?

If it can not be done using Status.Receive(), what is the other simplest way to implement that?Source: Jira Server/Datacenter (old community)

That’s an interesting answer, since I thought that required fields in workflow is an important part of a JIRA project. We can’t just abandon them to use Exalate, because it will cause inconsistency within the issues. There must be some ways to provide these.

Hi Hung,

Unfortunately, this isn’t possible on Jira Server, you would have to remove the requirement or use a different transition. I’m going to open a development ticket so this feature can be integrated to the product in the future.

Thanks,

André
