Validating user input in workflow transitions

For workflow transitions that have transition screens, you can add validation logic to make sure what the users put in is what you are expecting. This is a great way to ensure data integrity, and we can do this with workflow validators.

In this recipe, we will add a validator to perform a date comparison between a custom field and the issue's creation date, so the date value we select for the custom field must be after the issue's creation date.

Getting ready

For this recipe, we need to have the JSU Automation Suite for Jira Workflows app installed. You can download it from the following link, or install it directly using the UPM: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins...
