Hi @Mateusz Janus,

This should work:

Screenshot 2025-11-30 at 20.47.49.png

def selectedValues = issue.get("customfield_11770")
def requiredValues = issue.getAvailableOptions("customfield_11770")

selectedValues == requiredValues

Basically, it checks if the list of selected checkboxes matches the list of all available checkboxes.

I'd recommend to use Build-your-own Validator, that is another validator from JMWE.

Field Required Validator checks whether the field is empty, but it is not considered empty even if only one checkbox is checked. So, be careful with it.

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Option

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_11770")

if (!cf) {
log.warn("Custom field not found")
return false
}

def fieldValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf)
if (!fieldValue) {
return false
}

// Extract option values safely
def selectedValues = fieldValue.collect { it.value }

// Define required list
def requiredValues = [
"CAB Approval",
"Cybersecurity Approval",
"QA Signoff",
"UAT Approval",
"Release Announcement"
]

// Return TRUE only if all required options are present
def allSelected = requiredValues.every { it in selectedValues }

return allSelected
