Groovy validation: check issue link type and if link is not exist then custom field should be required.

Question

Hello!

I am trying to make my custom field mandatory on transition if issue has not link type "included in the package".

There is my code:

def xlink = issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.getId())*.issueLinkType.name.contains('included in the package')

if (xlink < 0) { return cfValues["Opportunity ID"] as boolean } true

Seems this not working.
Help me please to solve it.
Thank you a lot!

If you need to validate links added this transition, you will need the method described here: https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/recipes/workflow/validators/validate-attachments-links-in-transition.html#_validating_links_added_this_transition

Hi Sergey

First of all, I see a problem with the condition check

if (xlink < 0)

xlink can be equal to 0, but cannot be less than 0. Hence this will always be false.

So, I believe the condition should be

if (xlink == 0)

Hope this helps.

Thanks
