Script runner behaviour question to avoid running it on form load where there are no changes

[saravanan subramanian]

Hi TEam,

I have the code below to set the field "Severity Update Flag" when there are changes to the  field "PSIT Severity"  , how ever behavior below fires even when there is no change to the field PSIT Severity just when we click the edit button is there a way to avoid it?

Please let me know

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

def issue = underlyingIssue

def tgtField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == "PSIT Severity"}

// Get a pointer to both my fields

def demoSelect = getFieldByName("PSIT Severity")

def demoMultiTxt = getFieldByName("Severity Update Flag")

// Get the Value of the Select List Field

def selectedVal = demoSelect?.getValue()

def previousVal = tgtField?.getValue(issue)

if (selectedVal != null){

if (selectedVal?.toString()?.equalsIgnoreCase(previousVal?.toString())) {

    log.debug("Values are the same I will set the Val to False")

                String val ="False"

    demoMultiTxt?.setFormValue(val)

} else {

    log.debug("Values are different I will set the Val to True")

                String val ="True"

                demoMultiTxt?.setFormValue(val)

}

}
