How do I make the second field of a cascading select field required?

JT4

If a cascading select field is set to required, only the first selection field is actually required. The second field can be left unselected. How do I make both fields required? I found this:

cfValues["myCascadingSelect"]?.getKeysAndValues()?.size() == 2

but have been unsuccessful in getting it to work as a validation on the create transition.
We are running JIRA v5.2.5

Hi there

There is a similar question regarding on this posted before, perhaps you can refer on this as a general guideline and reference : https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/17148/workaround-solution-for-making-2nd-drop-down-required-in-multi-cascade-custom-field

cfValues['your cascading field']?.values()*.value.size() == 2

This one is working for me.

Hi Where do I have to write that code?

You need to install script runner plugin firstly, Then use Script Validator to add the code

Amir Katz (Outseer)

I tried it in a workflow transition validator (using the option 'Simple scripted validator') and it does not seem to work.

I read in another post that since Jira 5.x, the values are returned as a map, so they suggested this check:

   cfValues.get("customfield_17637")?.keySet()?.size() == 2

but it does not work for me (meaning when I put a not-None value, it still fails).

Anyone?

Try mentioning the custom field with double quotes

This is still an issue. Need the second field of a cascading selection to also be required. can someone please provide the correct solution since this post has indicated "Answer accepted".

I've tried all scripts mentioned above with no luck. Currently using the following:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue

def issue = issue as MutableIssue
def cascadingSelect = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue)?.findByName("XXXX")
def values = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cascadingSelect) as HashMap

// Will return true if both the parent and child options in the Cascading Select have a value
values?.keySet()?.size() == 2

I need both fields to be required. Is this possible?

Thank you in advance for any assistance!

You can try this:

def CustomField = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())
def CustomFieldValue = CustomField.getValue()
def parentOption = CustomFieldValue.getAt(0)?.value
def childOption = CustomFieldValue.getAt(1)?.value

//if both has a value then both is selected
if( (parentOption && childOption) {
...
}

We use this in behaviours.

If you have the requirement of only requiring a child option if the parent happens to have any children, I found that the following logic worked for me as a simple scripted validator using the ScriptRunner plugin:

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.CommentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.manager.OptionsManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Option
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Options

CommentManager commentManager = ComponentAccessor.commentManager
OptionsManager optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.optionsManager

def cascSelectField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue)?.findByName("Your Cascading Field Name")

def cascSelectFieldValues = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cascSelectField) as Map

def parentAndChildOptionsHaveValues = cascSelectFieldValues?.keySet()?.size() == 2

def aParentOptionHasBeenSelected = false

def thereAreNoChildOptionsToSelect = false

if (!parentAndChildOptionsHaveValues) {
  def cascSelectParentOption = cascSelectFieldValues[null] as Option
  def cascSelectParentOptionValue = cascSelectParentOption?.value

  if (cascSelectParentOptionValue) {
    aParentOptionHasBeenSelected = true

    def cascSelectFieldAllOptions = optionsManager.getOptions(cascSelectField.getRelevantConfig(issue)) as Options

    def parentOption = cascSelectFieldAllOptions.find {
      it.value == cascSelectParentOptionValue
    } as Option

    def childOptions = parentOption?.childOptions

    if (!childOptions || childOptions?.size() == 0) {
      thereAreNoChildOptionsToSelect = true
    }
  }
}

/*
 * Return a truthy value only if either both a parent and child option have been selected
 * or a parent option has been selected but there are no child options to select
 */
parentAndChildOptionsHaveValues || (aParentOptionHasBeenSelected && thereAreNoChildOptionsToSelect)

@JT4 ,

You can try this with behaviours:

Script:

//23/11/2020 [Leandro]
//Script que deja el segundo campo de select cascading obligatorio

def firstSelect = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())
def secondSelect = getFieldById(getFieldChanged()+":1");

//Si la sub-opcion no estuviese seleccionada, emite error
if (firstSelect.getValue() != [] && secondSelect.getValue() == null){
firstSelect.setError("Informe la opcion principal y la sub-seleccion.");
} else{
firstSelect.clearError();
}

^^ this is the business. Thank you @Michael Spoonauer. I did have to add this on the validator script:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

Jira DC 8.17.1 and SR 6.36.0
