How can I require a field be filled in prior to status being moved to done?

[James Strangeway]

I want to create a validator, which requires that a certain field value is > 0 prior to status being in (blah, blah and blah)

Hi James,

Are you using JIRA Download? If so, you can install and use the JIRA Suite Utilities add-on, which bundles a 'Fields Required Validator' - "The 'Fields Required' validator checks whether values for specified fields have been entered. If the validation fails, the transition will not be completed."

Thank You, that will work.

You can try the "Compare Number Custom Field" workflow condition in JIRA toolkit and show the transition only if the field has value > 0. Does that work?
