Getting started

Column Transition Guard lets you define exactly how, when, and by whom columns (like status) can be changed.

Installation

1. Click here to visit the installation page.
2. Specify the workspaces where the app should be installed.
3. Click Install.

Usage

App is available as a column extension. To locate it click on “3 dots” next to column name, then look for “Column extensions” and click on “Column Changes Guard”

Once app is selected, you’ll see a configuration pop-up:

Now you can configure:

1. How values can change (e.g. Only from “Blank” to “In progress” and from “In progress” to “Done”)
2. Who can make a change (e.g. People assigned in “Assignee” column)
3. When change can be made (e.g. Only when “Details” is not empty)

You can define any number of allowed transitions and conditions.

Enabling automation

A toggle in the top-right corner lets you enable or disable the integration. Once enabled, rules will be enforced and any changes to column will be validated against them.

Enabling the integration creates a webhook monitoring column changes.

Allow unmatched conditions

A toggle in the bottom-left corner lets you decide whether transitions that aren’t explicitly defined should be allowed.

• If enabled, any unmatched transition will be allowed.
• If disabled, any unmatched transition will not be allowed.
