Modules	Require a fix version to resolve an issue (on-change rule)

Use Case

This workflow was originally taken from a submitted request (JT-2468).

The user who submitted this issue wanted to force developers to set the fix version when they resolved an issue.

Modules

When an issue is updated, this on-change rule checks whether the state is changed to Fixed. If true, the rule requires that a value is set in the Fixed versions field.

If a value is set in the Fixed versions field, the issue is resolved as Fixed.
If the Fixed versions field is empty, a warning is displayed. The issue is not resolved. The required field is highlighted.

Require a fix version to resolve an issue

          const entities = require('@jetbrains/youtrack-scripting-api/entities');

          exports.rule = entities.Issue.onChange({
            title: 'Require a fix version to resolve an issue',
            guard: (ctx) => {
              return ctx.issue.fields.becomes(ctx.State, ctx.State.Fixed);
            },
            action: (ctx) => {
              ctx.issue.fields.required(ctx.FixVersions, 'Please set the \'Fix versions\' field!');
            },
            requirements: {
              State: {
                type: entities.State.fieldType,
                Fixed: {}
              },
              FixVersions: {
                name: 'Fix versions',
                type: entities.ProjectVersion.fieldType,
                multi: true
              }
            }
          });
