> Macro (excerpt)
> 
> ## Description
> 
> The Fields Required validator checks whether values for specified fields are set for a given transition.
> 
> ## Configuration
> 
> Define which fields should be mandatory for the transition. JSU’s default behavior is to apply the context settings; this means that if a field is required by this check, but has no valid context for the current issue, it won't be checked. You can choose to ignore the context, in that case, a field will be required even if its context is not configured for the current issue. 
> 
> ### Example
> 
> A workflow is configured so that the Resolve transition includes the Fields Required check, making the *Fix Version *field mandatory. If a user attempts to resolve an issue on this workflow, where the *Fix Version *field value is not set, the check will fail and no action will be performed.

> ### Optional error message
> 
> You can define a custom error message for JSU validators to provide a clear explanation of the situation to your users. If you leave this field empty, a default error message from Jira will be displayed on validation errors.
