Fields required or changed | Decadis App Help Center

This validator checks if fields are set/empty or have/haven't changed on the transition screen.

🛠️ Configuration

Notes

You can optionally enter a short Note (limited to 80 chars) and a longer Explanation (limited to 500 chars) to summarize what you are using the function for. This can help you differentiate multiple functions of the same kind in a single transition, as the Note will be shown in the workflow transition view.

Fields

Select the field to be checked, and in a subsequent step the desired behavior. The following options are available:

Option	Description
is required	The specified field must have a value. If no value is present, the validation will fail. false< ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="4e70c8ef-3a70-4e23-ade7-1ede3f250dcf">info Please note that due to Jira expression restrictions, at most ten custom or comment fields can be validated with this option.
must be empty	The specified field must not have a value. If a value is present, the validation will fail.
must be changed	The specified field must have been updated during the transition / on the transition screen.
must not be changed	The specified field must not have been updated during the transition / on the transition screen.

You can select all Field codes which have Jira expression field code via the field code injector.

Error message

Enter the message to show to the end-user when the validation fails. If you don't enter a message, the default error Message for JWT for Jira Cloud "Validation failed for validator 'Fields required or changed (JWT)'" is displayed in case the validation fails.

If you want to use this functionality in a condition instead, have a look at the following condition: Fields required

Conditional Execution

You can optionally specify a Jira expression to define the circumstances (or conditions) under which the condition should be applied.

The result of the Jira expression must return a boolean value of either:

true → the condition will be applied
false → the condition will be ignored (i.e. the transition will be available)

Pro Tip: Use this e.g. to allow Administrators or App/Automation users to bypass normal process restrictions.
