Time spent (when resolving task) isn`t required

How to make field Time spent (when resolving task) as required field?

[Tamara Tchavtchavadze · Accepted solution]

hey,

Sorry for the late responce.
You need to create a new screen (for example name it - Resolving Issue Screen) and add Time Tracking field. In the workflow, configure the transition (one that is used to Resolve the task) - add newlly created screen to Transition View. Then add validators - select "Field Required Validator" and in the "Field" configuration select "Time Spent".

Hope this will help.

Best wishes,

Tamara

Old question, however for those who are still looking for a better answer -- what if you don't need to log work manually at all and therefore no need to enforce it?! Check out the addon or website.

Tried... seems a bit complicated :)

Hi Sarunas,

You can add "Time Tracking" field to Transition screen (to screen when resolving issue) and set validator "Required Field" to "Time spent"

cheers

Tamara, could you explain a bit more? I`m quite experienced user, but still I failed to do what you have advised me. Thanks.

There is no such validator in vanilla JIRA 6.4.x. Either the info is outdated, or maybe an addon is required.

I think this refers to extra validators that are added when you install the free plugin 'JIRA Suite Utilities'
