Get content of a current comment on transition

Roman Blyshchyk

Hello smart people, 

I am trying to do validation on a comment during a transition between statuses. I want my comment to contain a certain tag, say :

[tagName] <some comment text>

 

If the body of the comment doesn't contain that text - I want to throw a validation message. It seems to me that this has to be done in validation part of the workflow, but I can't figure out how to grab the body of the current comment.  After searching CommentManager, I only found ".getLastComment(issue)", but not currentComment. 

Here is what I have right now:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import org.apache.log4j.Logger

def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager()
def lastComment = commentManager.getLastComment(issue)
def log = Logger.getLogger("com.acme.workflows")

log.warn(lastComment.body)

if(lastComment.body.contains("[public]")){
    return true;
}
else{
    return false;
}

 

Thanks,

Roman

You can use transientVars, e.g.

String comment = transientVars?.get("comment")?.toString()

You'll get a Static type checking error in the editor, but it works fine.
