2. Define the text of the error message in the Error message text field (e.g. “Field Text hasn’t been changed”)

3. Activate the JQL condition option and define the JQL query that has to be met by the issue in order for the validation to work (e.g. “type = Bug and Priority = Blocker”)

4. Activate the Executor condition option if you want the validator to work only if the user is or isn’t in a certain Jira user group or project role

   1. Select if The executor has to be or can’t be a member of a certain Jira user group or project role

      1. Select a Jira user group in the Group field if Group was set in the member of a field
