User Picker Field: Condition to stop user from selecting themselves

Uche

Hey Community,

Need a second pair of eyes here...

I have a user picker custom field on the creation screen for an issue..

I would like to put a condition that checks the field and ensures that it does not match the current reporter. I have tried to take a look online but can't see much.

I have tried writing the User Validator (JMWE app) validator on the create transition for the workflow...and have used the below condition for the user:

issue.reporter.accountId != issue.customfield_11209[0].accountId

This does not work. Does anyone know how to reference currentuser() in JMWE scripts? also can't see this anywhere. Because then rather than using the above could I not just say [customfield].accountId != currentuser()

Thanks

Hi @Uche

Try something like:

issue.customfield_XXXXX.accountId != user.accountId

Hi @Uche ,

Is your field a single-user picker or multi-user picker?

Also, did you use the "Issue Fields" help tab to figure out how to test the value of the custom field?

Uche

thanks will give this a try and see if it helps!

Hi @David Fischer

It is a single-user picker. and yes i did use the help tab but there is no info there that helps with the current user aspect of it,

Thanks

David Fischer

Right. The current user is described on the Globals help tab. You can refer to it as user.accountId

This works but when testing it on tickets where i am expecting the result to be true. The execution is failing. trying to find out why.

thanks

Uche
