Why do warnings appear on the issue view page?

This page applies to Risk Register for Jira Data Center and Jira Server

The Risk Register add-on will cause an information panel to appear on the Issue view page, warning the user of two situations relevant to risk workflow:

Analysis required

This warning appears under the following conditions:

a) risk management has been enabled for the project containing the issue; and
b) the issue is of the risk issue type OR a risk assessment has been added to it; and
c) either the impact and/or probability has NOT been specified.

Treatment plan missing

This warning appears under the following conditions:

a) risk management has been enabled for the project containing the issue; and
b) the issue is of the risk issue type OR a risk assessment has been added to it; and
c) the name of the selected treatment plan, when converted to lower-case, is 'avoid', 'mitigate', or 'transfer'; and
d) the treatment plan field is empty.

The information panel applies most commonly to the workflow that the product installs for you. If you have your own workflow for risk management, or you decide to modify the risk workflow so that the above conditions no longer apply to your risks, then the warnings may not appear. That's fine: their appearance or non-appearance does not affect the operation of the add-on in any material way.
