We are getting a error while trying to write a script for behavior's. Can someone check the error

Hello Team,

I'm trying to write a script to change the description of a field based on another check box field value. But getting some errors in the script. Can someone please check and suggest the solution for this??

def newDNSRequest = getFieldById(getFieldChanged ( ) )
def Host(A Record) = getFieldByName("Host (A Record)")
def Alias(CNAME) = getFieldByName("Alias (CNAME)")

def newDNSRequest = orderRequest.getValue().toString()

if ((getFieldById(fieldChanged).value as "Host (A Record)")?.name) {
getFieldById('Hostname')
.setDescription('No FQDN')
} else {
getFieldById('Hostname')
.setDescription('FQDN Mandatory')
}

if ((getFieldById(fieldChanged).value as "Host (A Record) && Alias (CNAME)")?.name) {
getFieldById('Hostname')
.setDescription('No FQDN')
}

Error in 

@ line 2, column 20.

Hi @Srikanth Vemuluri

After reviewing your code, I can confirm it will fail 100%.

There are many mistakes in your code.

Firstly there is no point in using getFieldById(getFieldChanged()) in your if/else conditions if you have already declared a variable for it.

 

Also, in your code, I do not see any usage of the variables, def Host(A Record) = getFieldByName("Host (A Record)") and def Alias(CNAME) = getFieldByName("Alias (CNAME)"). 

Only the field name is used as a value in the if / else conditions.

You may as well remove these field declarations.

Secondly, it's a bad practice to declare in the if/else condition like

if ((getFieldById(fieldChanged).value as "Host (A Record)")?.name) {
getFieldById('Hostname')
.setDescription('No FQDN')
} else {
getFieldById('Hostname')
.setDescription('FQDN Mandatory')
}

You should declare it outside the if/else condition to avoid any confusion.

Below is a complete sample cleaned-up code for your reference:-

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours behaviours
def newDNSRequest = getFieldById(fieldChanged)
def newDNSRequestValue = newDNSRequest.value.toString()
def hostname = getFieldByName('Hostname')
hostname.description = ''

if (newDNSRequestValue == 'Host (A Record)') {
    hostname.description = 'No FQDN'
} else if (newDNSRequestValue in ['Host (A Record)', 'Alias (CNAME)']) {
    hostname.description = 'No FQDN'
} else {
    hostname.description = 'FQDN Mandatory'
}

I'm not sure if this will work 100%.

It would be best if you could share a screenshot of the fields you want to use and a screenshot of your Behaviour configuration to double-confirm if this will work in your environment.

I would also recommend that you go through the ScriptRunner Behaviour documentation and look at the videos to better understand how you should handle your code.

I hope this helps to solve your question. :-)

Thank you and Kind regards,

Ram
