Introduction
Validator that verifies number of issues in JIRA with same field value as current issue. Flexible JQL-based issue selection and number of operators allow you to customize validation.
You can use this validator for (e.g.):
- Preventing users from reporting too many issues per day
- Disallow working on too many issues same time

Validator parameters
- Related Issues - described below

- Operator - math operator to compare related issues count with given number
- Target value - expected number of issues to pass validation
- Failed validation message - Message for user if validation fails
- Evaluate value on - method of validation
- Original issue - issue without changes user made (on transition screen)
- Issue after transition - issue after changes made on transition screen (but it doesn't reflect changes made by post functions)
Working with related issues Related issues can be selected by using two inputs: Issue Relation - where you can choose a relation with the current (transitioned) issue; JQL - you can put your JQL text to filter some issues from the results. If you leave the JQL Field empty, all issues in a given relation are taken into account. In the example above you wanted to execute a workflow function on subtasks of the current issue and take additionally only the ones with the "Sub-task" and priority="High" type. In the JQL field you can put some text tags to be replaced with actual values of the current (transitioned) issue: $$CURRENT_DATETIME$$ $$ASSIGNEE$$ $$CURRENT_STATUS_CATEGORY$$ The JQL field has a built-in validation feature. If your query is incorrect, you will see a red sign next to the JQL field and an error description as shown below:
