Validation error to display issue keys

*** This is for JIRA Software not Cloud***

Hi guys,

Need your valuable help on this. I want to display the issue keys returned as a result of a JQL in error message of JIRA validator named: "Validation based on JQL query (by JWT) "

I tried using ephemeral number 1, but it displays count of those issues. I tried ephemeral string 1, but shows nothing! How can I resolve this issue.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi @simarpreet singh

let me give you an example of the easiest and quickest way to achieve what you are looking for. I searched for unresolved sub-tasks of an issue in my example and configured the boolean expression to return "true" when the number of returned issues equals zero. ( "{00058} = 0" ).

An example validator message using the advanced parsing mode could look like this.

"The issue/s " + toString(issuesFromJQL("insert your JQL query here")) + " are still unresolved".

Simply add your JQL query from before into the expression parser function issuesFromJQL. It will return the issue keys as a list and the validator error message will then look like this:

If you need to validate more complex scenarios that are not possible using JQL, I would recommend using the boolean validator instead. The expression parser functions documented here enable you to easily realize more advanced validations.

I hope I could help you out and please let me know if you have more questions.

Best, Max
