Set field required based on value of two other fields.

Fabian Duft_k3a3bg

Hi,

I just started using Scriptrunner and already have a problem I can't solve for some while now.

I have 3 fields. A, B and C. 
If A or B have the value "Yes" then C should be required. Else it should be optional.

I tried the following code in a field behavior and it works for one field (the one I put the code into) but not for both at the same time.

def c = getFieldByName("C")
def a = getFieldByName("A")
def b = getFieldByName("B")

def aOption = a.getValue() as String
def bOption = b.getValue() as String

def isA = aOption == "Yes"
def isB = bOption == "Yes"

if (isA || isB){
c.setRequired(true)
} else {
c.setRequired(false)
}

Can somebody tell me how I can make this work for both fields at the same time?

Thank you.

The words in your code imply that you've made a fundamentally incorrect assumption.

I'm looking at:

def aOption = a.getValue() as String

Your use of the word "option" in there suggests that field a is a select-list of some sort (might also be multi-select, radio button, check box etc).  This type of field's data is "options".

Not strings. 

When you cast an option to a String, Java can convert it, but the string representation of an object is often the entire object, not just one of the attributes.

What you'll probably need to do is get the attribute of the option that you really want to work with.  That is going to be the name of the option.

So, try

def aOptionValue = a.getValue()

def aOption = aOptionValue.getValue().getName()

Note, if your field is a multi-select, the getValue will return an array of options, not a single one.  In some places, a select list can also return an array with a single option in it,
