JMWE Validator: How to make the child level of Cascading field required?

Tyler Stephens

HI!

 

I have a use case to make a child level of a cascading field required.

I am trying to do this through a validator...

Cascading Field has two options:

• Example 1 (with no children)
• Example 2
  • Child 1
  • Child 2
  • Child 3

How can I build a validator that will only trigger if Example 2 is picked without a child value selected?

 

Thanks!

Hi @Tyler Stephens 

using JMWE, you can create a Build-your-own (scripted) Validator, with code like this:

!!issue.customfield_12345 && !!issue.customfield_12345.child

where you'll replace customfield_12345 with the custom field ID of your cascading select field (which you can find on the "Issue Fields" help tab below the Jira expression editor).
