Way to make one field required based on another field selection using scriptrunner behaviors

[Joe Harmon]

I have a required field called "Release Type" and when it is set to "Hardware" I want to have the SKU(s) field required.  When it is set to anything else, I want the SKU(s) field optional and read only or if possible hidden.  Here is the script I have so far but it isn't working at all.  I also want the asterisk to show against skus as well if possible.

def releaseTypeField = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())

def releaseTypeStatus = releaseTypeField.getValue()

def skusField = getFieldById("SKU(s)")

if (releaseTypeStatus == "Hardware") {

    skusField.setRequired(true) //Sets the SKUs field to required.

    skusField.setHelpText("The SKUs field is required when it is a hardware project")

}

else {

    skusField.setRequired(false) //Sets the SKUs field back to optional

    skusField.setReadOnly(true)

    skusField.setHelpText("")

}

Hi @Joe Harmon 

You use getFieldById but you provided cf name. Use getFieldByName or provide ID of the field.

def skusField = getFieldById("SKU(s)")

Also, use formField.setHelpText() to see the values in UI for testing.

Ex; releaseTypeField.setHelpText(releaseTypeStatus)

That's what it was.  I saw an example from someone and that is what they used and had the name on it.  I was confused by that as I figured it had to the be the customfieldID_xxxx.  Oh well, thanks for helping me with it.

Glad to hear that, you are welcome!

I tried to add a second field with the same context as the first and it only worked on the first.  You ever heard of that before?
