Wanted to add condition for validator

Question

Hi Team,

Wanted to add If else condition for validator in JIRA workflow.

Below is the requirement.

Change type is one of the field.

If change type value= XYZ

then attachment should be mandatory

Else

attachment should not be mandatory.

Kindly please let me know how to achieve this.

If its possible with script runner, then kindly share the test script as well.

Regards,

Neeta Jain

Hi @Phill Fox,

I have a variation of this that I would like to solve... I have a screen that is displayed on transition. On that screen I have a field for which I would like to base validators.

Scenario:
Transition from To Do to In Progress. Screen X is displayed with 3 fields: A (Yes/No), B and C. Depending on the value of Field A:

* If A = Yes --> Fields B and C are required.
* If A != Yes --> Fields B and C are not required.

Is there a way to implement this?

Hi @c-njain

Welcome to the community

As @Danyal Iqbal has already explained one solution is to have two different transitions to cover your scenario. As you are new to community I have taken the liberty of assuming that you may also be relatively new to Jira and Workflows so will provide a bit more information to help you.

Transition 1.

Condition  - change type value= XYZ

Validator - attachment is present

Transition Screen - must show the attachment field

Transition 2.

Condition  - change type value is not XYZ

Validator - none required

Transition Screen - may show the attachment field

For simplicity I would use the same transition screen for each transition (it is less confusing this way)

As an end user I will only ever see one of the two transitions when viewing an issue as the two conditions are mutually exclusive.

Hope this helps you solve your problem.
