Using script runner in workflow validator (issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf)

Question

We have used script runner functions in issue filters successfully but have not been able to use them in workflow validators.

The objective is to prevent the closure of an issue if it has linked issues that are still open. For example issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("status = open"). The validator returns a workflow exception indicating No such property: issueFunction.  I suspect this may be due to missing import statements or just bad syntax but have not been able to find any examples of using the script runner issueFunction in a validator.

We have the JIRA add-on titled "Adaptavist ScriptRunner for JIRA" installed and have successfully used the ScriptRunner function "issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf" in issue filters.  We have the evaluation version of the ScriptRunner installed as shown in the add-on maintenance information below, so perhaps that is the problem. We were hoping to verify functionality prior to recommending the purchase of a 2000 user license.

Is a different version of ScriptRunner or another component or tool that is required?

You must have ScriptRunner Robert so you should just be able to replace the validator with the one provided by Thanos, rather than using whatever function JMWE is providing.

Hi Robert

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I though you were using ScriptRunner (even though I believe that the issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("status = open") is a ScriptRunner scripted JQL function)
