In https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/ru.andreymarkelov.atlas.plugins.utilsthere is "Comment Validator".

Andrey i already tried this plugin. It is for omiting groups which dont want to add comments while transition.

I want to make default Comments field to be mandatory for particular transition Andrey.

You mean I need to add extra configuration feature?:-)
I will add it to queue. Good idea.

And why "Comment Validato" doesn't work? I don't understand I bit. You can not setup any groups and comment will mandatory for all users which perform current transition.

1. i am selecting comment validator

[Andrey Markelov]

Yes. I believe there is empty option. So if you set empty options the comment will be mandatory for all users in Jira.

Thanks a lot Andrey. It worked :)

I have done something quite similar (in Jira 4.2).

I have created a free-text custom field, and added that field to certain screens.

There are validators in the workflow that can check of certain fields are filled in.

Afterwards you can add a post function 'add comment from field' (don't know the exact name), where you can set the author and field.

Helpful?

Hi Sir Be thanks for you comment. I know to add extra custom field like comments but if we add extra filed also this default comment field will be visible. So totaly 2 comments fields will be visible. I dont want two comment fileds.

That's a good point! :)
