# Block issue transition using checklist validators

Checklist For Jira Cloud comes with two inbuilt checklist validators which you could use to block Issue transition from one state to another.

The two Validators are :

- All Checklist items are complete
- All mandatory checklist items are completed

Adding these conditions to your workflow will make it mandatory for the condition to be valid before the issue can transition from one status to another.

**Adding the checklist validator to the workflow**
