How can I use a Workflow Condition or Validation against the Sprint Field

Question

Good Day

I am trying to restrict tasks from being moved to Closed if they are in an open sprint. Is this possible to have as a validator or condition on that transition?

Please any help is appreciated.

Thanks and Warm Regards

Hi @Liam Maeder

The commercial plugins scriptrunner (https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/5.5.7/jira/builtin-scripts.html#_jql_query_condition) and JWT (https://apps.decadis.net/display/JWT/Condition+and+validation+based+on+JQL+query) has conditions to check based on a JQL query. You could use that along with the JQL clause "sprint not in openSprints()" to achieve this requirement.

Hi Liam,

If you have the JMWE app, you can use the Scripted (Groovy) Validator/Scripted Groovy condition of the app to check that the issue is in an open sprint. The app has an inbuilt editor help that will help you in writing the one line Groovy script to check the status of the Sprint the issue belongs to. Something like this:

!(issue.get("Sprint").any{it.isActive()})
