Jira task Workflow

[Artem Snisar]

When moving Task to “Done” pop-up window and ask the user to enter “work-log”

i tried to do it with the Workflow transition an made a screen but i cant make it only for task.

what is the solution for this?

Hi @Artem Snisar 

It is possible to have more that one transition defined between the same workflow statuses that can have different behaviours

You can set a condition on each transition e.g. "Task Done" has condition  `IssueType = Task`,  "Done" has condition `IssueType != Task`

and define a different transition screen for each. Task Done can have Log Work fields present.

You can also add a validator to check the field "Time Spent" has had a value set to ensure work is logged.

how can i make Jql query in condition at the workflow level?

[Tom Lister]

You can search for project status

Project = "BLAH" and status in ("Done")

but it has to be only when task issuetype is going to done, so first of all i cant make a condition in the workflow for that (or i cant find an option for that) and second of all i wont give me a  result of the pop up screen i need

Currently you have one transition going to Done. 
In my example you create a second transition called "Task Done" from Development Done to done. 
Do you know how to do that?

Edit the original transition and add a condition to check that issue type is not = Task to allow for all other issue types

Edit the Task Done transition to check the issue type is only Task

This will give you two paths to Done depending on issue type.

Once you have that, you can configure the Task Done transition to capture Work Logged. I'll add that step once you can get to this stage - assuming you'd like to try this out.

(Jira may not want to add a new transition to a workflow state with no exit transitions and will put up a misleading error about not able to add to a draft. Post back if that happens, there is a simple fix)

I would do it like this:

• I'll put a text field on this screen, to user type worklog. And I'll set a description to this field explaning the pattern to fill this field.
• Then I'll set a validator in to check if field was filled in the worklog pattern (groovy script).
• And lastly a post function to take this field, process and fill the worklog (worklog)
