Check mandatory fields by dependencies (creation via API REST call)

Chiara Spadavecchia_jfl50o

Hi,

I'm using ScriptRunner Validator.

I have 2 fields:

- field A (type: Labels)

- field B (type: Labels)

At least one of the two is mandatory.

 

So, If A is not set check if B is set.

If B is not set the validator should block the transition.

 

How to do this?

The condition into the validator script is the following one:

A!=null || B!=null

and does not work by REST API call.

If I passed B the validator script blocks the transition.

Hi Chiara,

Thank you for your question.

I can confirm that Workflow Validators inside of ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud 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.

Regards,

Kristian
