Jira expression for validator checking user and user picker against group memberships

[Neil Arrowsmith]

I'd like to write a Jira expression for use in a validator that checks if any of the following are true:

1. The user performing the transition is in user group X
2. The user performing the transition is in user group Y
3. The user selected in user picker field customfield_10869 is in group X
4. The user selected in user picker field customfield_10869 is in group Y

If any of these are true, the validator should allow the transition to happen. This is on the create transition in particular, so the issue should be created.

I've tried:

issue.customfield_10869.groups.includes('Account Managers') 

But get an error "Unrecognized property of `issue.customfield_10869.groups`: "includes""

I'm trying to create the validator using Scriptrunner.

Thanks!

Hi @Neil Arrowsmith 

I think it's because issue.customfield_10869 return a Map not a user Object.

You need to get the User object from the accountID property in the Map.

Something like 

let userPickerValue = issue?.customfield_10869 != null

    ? new User(issue?.customfield_10869?.accountId)

    : null;

Then you can do userPickerValue.groups

Thanks so much Florian - that really helped. 

This is what I ended up with, which worked:

let userPickerValue = issue?.customfield_10869 != null

    ? new User(issue?.customfield_10869?.accountId)

    : null;

return userPickerValue.groups.includes('X') || userPickerValue.groups.includes('Y') ||

       user.groups.includes('X') || user.groups.includes('Y')

Thanks again!

Hi @Neil Arrowsmith

I would suggest taking a look at the ScriptRunner Migration Suite . It has a built-in AI and is very helpful with workflow expressions for Validators and Conditions.

Thank you and Kind regards,
Ram

Hi Ram - that was my first port of call. Unfortunately it didn't help - from memory I think it only solved the "user performing the transition is in user group X" part, and couldn't help me work out the user picker group membership in the way that Florian did in the other reply.

Thanks for replying though.
