Compare two date fields and validate transition

Bojan Virag

I have two custom date fields: Start Date and End Date.

I want to check if End Date is set before Start Date in which case I want to stop ticket creation and let the users know that End Date cannot be set before Start Date.

I do have scriptrunner, but I didn't find a straightforward solution.

Thank you!

Hi @Bojan Virag,

the problem depends on the fact that you have used the script (which was for a Custom script condition) in the creation phase.
Thus, a condition cannot be used but a validator must be used. In this case, we can use a Simple scripted validator with the following code:

def startDate = cfValues['Start Date'] as Date
def endDate = cfValues['End Date'] as Date

return (startDate != null && endDate!= null && startDate <= endDate)
