Scriptrunner behaviour for duplicate custom field

[Mohamed Mehdi Mrad]

Hi,

Im looking for a Scriptrunner behaviour to find out if a custom field already exists, If it exists when the issue is created it shouldnt be added to avoid duplicate issues.

Thank you.

Hi @Mohamed Mehdi Mrad 

I think that a string search of all issue summaries when an issue is created will not perform well.

How big a problem is this? Is it service desk?

Hi,

I need to check only per project if an issue with the same summary already exists. Im still looking for a method to find out

Welcome to the community.

Can you elaborate here, because,

• Fields on issue never duplicated.
• That means that each issue with have only field with one name.
• So I think you don't need do anything special here.

Hello,

thank you for your answer,

I mean on different issues. For example, I want to check if the same summary exists on  another issue, if it is so the new one doesn't get created.
