| **Goal** | Control the consistency and quality of your team's work |

| **Scenario** | Are you part of a Software Developer team preparing for your next software release? It's crucial to manage your team members' Jira tasks according to the plan!<br>Let’s look at how to set up JSU’s *Fields Required* validator to improve your workflows. |
| **JSU Components** | [Fields Required](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JSU/pages/12681722) validator |

## How to configure this workflow

1. Go to Project Settings and select **Edit** for the workflow you want to edit.
2. Select the transition where you want to add the validator. In this case, we will choose the *In progress* transition.
3. Go to the *Validators* tab, and select** Add validator**.
4. Select the Fields Required (JSU) validator then select **Add**.
5. Now you can configure your validator. Select a field from the *Available Fields* list, then select **Add** to add it to the* Required Fields* list.  Here, we added *Assignee* and *Due date*.
6. Select **Add** at the bottom of the page.
7. Publish your workflow.

## Test your rules

1. Start setting up a Software release issue for your team.
2. Fill out only the issue summary for your release and select **Create**.
3. Move the issue to *In progress*. Jira displays an error message since you have configured *Assignee* and *Due date* as required fields to perform this transition.
4. Add an assignee, set a due date for your software release, and check your automation by moving your issue to In progress again. Now, it works!
