Trying to use behaviours simple script so that if Priority = 1 then must enter a biz justification

Ed Richard

this script will not work and I can't think of another thing to try:. Basically, there are 2 fields in play (Priority and Business Justification).. If Priority is set to P1, I want the multi-line text field called Business Justification to be required. I have gotten very similar scripts to work in the past but this one for some reason is driving me crazy... when I do select P1, nothing happens to the Business Justification field)... very frustrating...likely a simple thing but I would appreciate the help.

def formField = getFieldByName("Priority")
def descField = getFieldByName("Business Justification")

def priority1 = formField.getValue()
if (priority1.getValue() == "P1") {
descField.setRequired(true)
}
else {
descField.setRequired(false)
}

Hi @Ed Richard ,

Can you try the below?

I don't access to a Server environment so not sure it will work, but it should help you to achieve what you are looking for:

By the way, I prefer to use Ids instead of names in case someone decides to change the name. The id will always remain the same while the name can change.

 

 

def prio= getFieldById("customfield_XXXXX")
def businessJustification= getFieldById("customfield_XXXXX")

def selectedOption = businessJustification.getValue() as String

if (selectedOption .getValue() == "P1") {
businessJustification.setRequired(true)
}
else {
businessJustification.setRequired(false)
}
