scriptrunner validator to check if that at least one of 3 custom field is filled

Riccardo Micozzi

Hi guys,

I need a Validator to check if an issue is created with at least 1 of 3 customfield filled.

This is what I write:

issue.customfield_10046!= null || issue.customfield_10045!= null || issue.customfield_10059!= null 

 

But in this way if I don't pass the first customfield(10046) but I pass one of the other 2(10045 or 10059) the validator stop me.

 

The strange things is that if I create che issue with an Rest API call, the validator stop me and I can't create the Issue   but if I  create the same Issue manually from Jira, the Validator didn't stop me. I don't know if this is because from Jira if a leave a Customfield empty is different if from a Rest Api I don't pass the customfield at all.

 

My answer is: there is a way to write something like that: 

issue.customfield_10046!= null || issue.customfield_10045!= null || issue.customfield_10059!= null 

 

that works  always from Jira and  From rest api call?

 

P.S: I have Jira premium

 

Thanks

Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for your question.

I can confirm that Workflow Validators are defined using the Jira Expression Framework as documented in the Atlassian API documentation page located here or in the documentation page located here which explains how to add in a new validator to your workflow.

I can confirm that when viewing the Jira Expression Framework API documentation page linked above you can navigate to the Context variables section which shows what variables are provided by this framework that can be used to create the expression.

If you then click on one of the variables it will show all the properties that can be called on the variable for the expression such as for the issue variable as shown here and you will be able to check this to see if Atlassian provides a variable that can be checked against to help create the validator which you require.

I am unable to provide an exact expression to achieve your requirement, but you can use the resources shared above as a reference guide to help create that validator expression which you require.

Finally, so that I can advise further can I please ask what types are each of your custom fields so that I can advise further on how to achieve this requirement and how you can check these field values.

Regards,

Kristian
