Require parameters
Overview
If the destination state has been configured to require setting one or more workflow parameter values the workflow popup displays a warning for the transition.
Once a parameter value has been set, it is not prompted for again unless the saved value is removed.
Require parameters option is only for approval transition actions and state Submit transition or state Select transition actions. Require parameters is not a feature for other actions such as task related actions.
User state transition - select and submit transition
When the Require parameters option is set for the destination state, a Select transition and Submit transition from another state require the parameter values.
For the transition option to a single state, the Submit button displays a warning icon.
Choosing the Submit button opens a text box to enter the value of the required workflow parameter.
The Change state button is enabled when a value for the workflow parameter is added.
Approval transition
When the Require parameters option is set for the destination state, an approval transition (approved or rejected) from another state requires the parameter values.
The approval decision button displays a warning icon if the destination state requires setting one or more workflow parameters.
Choosing the approval decision with the warning icon opens a text box to enter the value of the required workflow parameter(s).
The decision button is enabled when a value for the workflow parameter is added.
The required parameters for entering a state will only be prompted if a user is performing a workflows action such as approving/rejecting or state selection. If a state is transitioned by a trigger, a page update or task-related action, there is no Require parameters check.
