Writing a workflow validator

Workflow validators are specific validators that check whether some predefined constraints are satisfied or not while progressing on a workflow. The constraints are configured in the workflow and the user will get an error if some of them are not satisfied. A typical example would be to check if a particular field is present or not before the issue is moved to a different status.

Workflow validators are created with the help of the workflow-validator module. The following are the key attributes supported in this module:
