Cross-property constraints are not supported without changing java code.

Nice… How did you manage to show your own error message? I would like to do this also.

I actually do UI validation through javascript in the workflow-options.jsp file(classpath:/jsp/workflow/start-workflow-wizard/workflow-options.jsp).

All, I did was attach my own validation function to the Next button's onclick(). Then I check the values in the DOM and make sure they are what I want, otherwise I don't let the user go to the next page.

Hope that helps out.

I would be interested to see an example of your code if it's possible.
At the other hand, I think this more complicated to do this on a generated button (the one that you define for a transition and not just for the workflow initialisation).
