Trying to add validators in Jira workflow for universal validator?

shreyasjoshi11

I am trying to check for the custom field "Create sub-tasks" which is a radio button and has the following value - None, Yes, No. I want to add a validator to check if the value is either Yes or No. However, when I have placed the validator, it shows me some errors.

Here is my custom field - Create sub-tasks.

Here are the errors I get.

Hi @shreyasjoshi11 ,

I'm not familiar with the specific app, but you could write the expression like:

{Create Sub-tasks} == null

It would be helpful if you could specify the app which you use.

Hey @shreyasjoshi11 - I think you're using Workflow Enhancer for Jira, yes? Huh, their validator syntax looks similar to Jira Expressions (on Cloud), but I now realize this is a DC/Server app. Neat.

So anyways, when you create a custom field of type Radio Button, if it is not set to be Required, then the "None" option shows up automatically.

But as @Alex Koxaras -Relational- correctly points out, it holds a value of 'null'.

But because you want the validator to "pass" if the custom field is NOT null, I think you need to check for the converse:

{Create Sub-tasks} != null

It says - Parsing of the expression has failed. Please check its syntax. You entered: {Create sub-tasks} != null. This expression will always evaluate to <b>false!</b> System message: Lexical error at line -1, column -1. Encountered: "-" (45), after : "{Create sub"

I am using -

Update parameters of the 'Universal Validator' Validator for this transition.

Yes, it is hosted on the server rather than the cloud.

I am using a universal validator and my JIRA is hosted on the server and not cloud.

Ah, ok, looks like this add-on doesn't support the word 'null'. I got it to work with an expression like this:

{Create Sub-tasks} != ""

Please let us know if this works for you!

Still it doesn't work -

Parsing of the expression has failed. Please check its syntax. You entered: {Create Sub-tasks} != " ". This expression will always evaluate to <b>false!</b> System message: Lexical error at line -1, column -1. Encountered: "-" (45), after : "{Create Sub"
