Writing a logic query for a workflow

Question

For a ticket the user wants a ticket to be structured a certain way, a user wants the fields "type" and "name" to be required when the value for the "Components" field has been selected to "Third party Vendor" I was trying to write a logic query as a validator in the workflow transition when the ticket is being created. I just don't know how to write it exactly. I could use some help, or guidance on this.

Sure thing @Craig Nodwell the version of Jira I am working on is:

Jira v8.20.7

for the logic statement I had written down, it was :  %{Components} = "Third Party Vendor" and %{Type}!="null" and %{Name}!= "null" or %{Components}!= "Third Party Vendor"

the ticket for selecting the "Third Party Vendor" worked, as when it was selected, you received the error message that "type" and "name" (those custom fields) needed to be filled out as well.

but it prevented me from creating a test ticket where you didn't have to select "Third Party Vendor" in the "Component's" system field. so i tried to create an "or" statement. but i kept running into issues.

the first part is: "%{Components} = "Third Party Vendor" and %{Type}!="null" and %{Name}!= "null" and that seems to work.

Depends on what version of Jira you are using.
Can you identify you version.  I could have jumped the gun there.... 
And maybe if you could be more clear on the "I was able to write the first part"
Do you have a plugin like Scriptrunner?  What did you write the first part in?
