How to ensure a field (text field) is filled by users when a date field is altered ?

Aisha M

I want a text field to capture the reason from users only when an Issue type's Due Date is changed to a latter date,

Can I please get some help on how to accomplish this ? Thank you

Hi @Aisha M ,

Please create a behaviours, link it to the due date field and use this script (update the custom field id) :

import groovy.transform.BaseScript
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours

import java.sql.Timestamp

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours

def duedateField = getFieldById("duedate")
def duedate = duedateField.getValue()
def currentDate = new Timestamp(new Date().getTime())

int textFieldId = 10002
def textField = getFieldById("customfield_" + textFieldId)

if (duedate != "" && currentDate > duedate){
textField.setHidden(true)
}
else {
textField.setHidden(false)
}

Let me know if that helped.

@Antoine Berry Thank you for the reply. How do we link Behavior to the custom fields , is there a specific way ?

Aisha M

Hi @Antoine Berry , I did the following thing,

I added the "Reason' custom field to the Edit & View screens of the Epic Issue Type

Then went over to the Behavior Add-on, but the configuration seemed confusing.

Anyway, I added the project & issue type details, and under the "add field" , selected the "Due Date" and added the script & saved.

Later, tried moving the Due Date to a later value, and nothing happened Like when I clicked to edit the Due Date, the "Create issue screen' popped open, but nothing prompted me to fill anything, I simply able to modify the field and update the issue with filling the "Reason" text field also.
