Using behaviours plugin to make field required on condition

Question

Hi All I am trying to implement that on the selection of a particular component that another custom field becomes required. I am trying to do this in the behaviours plugin Behaviour plugin Version: 0.5.10 JIRA Version 6.0.4 Build Number 6100 I have placed the following in the serverside script box and turned logging on.. however nothing seems to be happeneing when I enter or edit a new bug where Cameras is selected as a component and the Camera field is left empty... I was expecting an error. Any suggestions as to whats missing? I turned logging on but dont see anything in th log window when I use F12 on the browser. FormField componentField = getFieldByName("Component/s") FormField cameraField = getFieldByName("Camera") if (componentField.getFormValue() == "Cameras") { cameraField.setHelpText("

As this is a cameras issue you must detail the camera you are using on the 'System' tab.

") cameraField.setRequired(true) } else { cameraField.setRequired(false) } Cheers Nick

Hi

So got the debug output working... and found this:

[onresolve.jira.groovy.BehaviourManagerImpl] Found class  but could not find method run
groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: getValue for class: com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FormField

which is related to:

if (componentField.getValue*.name.contains("Cameras"))

where

FormField componentField = getFieldByName("Component/s")

the easy question is to ask if someone can help with what is wrong. But also can someone point me to the documentation etc where I can see what methods are in what classes etc.

thanks

Hi Jamie

Thanks for the reply. I have checked atlassian-jira.log but dont see any of my debug output. Deebug is turned on in the behaviours plugin and I have added log.debug messages in various places. It makes me wonder if the serverside script is not being called?

In the behaviours plugin I have put the serverside script on the components field. I made no changes to the Camera field.
