How to disable cascading element child element?

Question

Hi,

I am having trouble disabling a cascading element child element in Script-Runner behaviours. When selecting this element with this script:

def childElement = getFieldById("customfield_13062:1")
childElement.setHidden(false)
childElement.setRequired(true)
childElement.setReadOnly(false)

The following error appears in the browser console:

Uncaught (in promise) Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: unsupported pseudo: 1-field
at re.error (batch.js?locale=en-US:54:8303)
at PSEUDO (batch.js?locale=en-US:54:11353)

It seems that the element "customfield_13062:1" is being interpreted as a CSS pseudo-class and breaking the validation script. How can I work around this?

Thank you.

Regards.

Hi @Andrea Pannitti

Sadly it appears that ScriptRunner's Behaviour getFieldById is not correctly sanitized and will throw an exception if trying to select a field with a colon in it's name.

Thanks for your help anyway.

Hi @Daniel R_, your approach is correct but, according to HTML specs, the select tag in HTML doesn't have a readonly attribute, only a disabled attribute; so it doesn't work. A good workaround to do this, is the following: def childElement = getFieldById("customfield_13062:1") // To Disable childElement.setDescription("") // To Enable //childElement.setDescription("")
