Workflow Validator to check version in custom field

Brian Moudy

First up, I'm not a developer; the code below is hacked from examples found online.

Problem: We have a custom field to denote the version the fix actually shipped in ("Shipped Version"). It uses the Version pick-list. For compliance reasons, we want to restrict the options available at the Resolve transition. To achieve that we'd like to have a validator which would ensure only a couple of values are valid during a particular transition (e.g. error if they select something else).

 

I've tried writing the following code, but it's not picking up the selection when they select the correct value.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager; 
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager; 
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue; 
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField; 
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager; 

CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager(); 
CustomField customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_13978"); 
def currentValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField); 

if( (currentValue != 'Current' ) && (currentValue != 'Current-2' ) ) {
     return false 
     } 
     else { 
     return true 
}

 

I'm wondering if this is because the value of the version isn't stored as a string and thus won't compare properly. However, I'm not able to figure out how to convert it to a string or add the proper non-string id for the release into the compare (I tried entering the version ID number).

Thank you in advance for any help here!

Hello Brian,

Version Picker returns multiple version info. If your version picker is of single select type then you can try below code:

 

if (["Current", "Current-2"].contains(currentValue[0].name)) {
   return true;
} else {
   return false;
}

I hope it helps
