Automation Rule - Issues that are over 5k cannot transition without being reviewed

[Sergi Ortega]

Hello there!

I have created 2 fields, net amount (number field) and review done (single choice field).

I' like to create an automation that makes that the issues over or equal to 5k cannot be moved manually to the next status (From in Progress to Done) without being reviewed (review done custom field needs to be selected to move the issue forward).

I've performed multiple automations but how would it be possible to restrict the flow if some fields have a certain value?

I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me out!

Thank you!

I don't think you can veto a transition from an automation...

But, this is exactly the responsibility of Jira workflow conditions and validators!

Please study those.

I will study them! Thank you Aron!

Hi @Sergi Ortega ,

did you try to use a Workflow condition on the according transition to achieve this?

[Sergi Ortega]

I have not. I have never tried it. I will have to read the doc your colleague has provided me. I guess with it could be possible, I'll take a look. Thank you Lisa!

Hey @Sergi Ortega ,

An automation rule in itself cannot prohibit an issue from moving to another status. For that you'll have to add a condition on the workflow.

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-advanced-issue-workflows/

With an automation you could say it to either do something or not based on a condition but it won't prohibit the same action manually.

To do that, you'll need the conditions on the workflow.

Hey Dirk, thank you for your answer, I have not tried it yet with the workflow condition as I wasn't aware of it. I'' go through the document and see if I can set it up. Thank you!

Great! If you encounter issues setting it up feel free to elaborate or open up a new specific question :)
