How to make a field mandatory based on value in the another field

Question

Hi All,

I am trying to make a field mandatory based on value in the another field using below code in script runner. But it is not working 100% correctly -

- When i create a JIRA ticket and make the select 1 in the field "Quality Assessment", it doesnt show "Quality Comment" field as mandatory. We have to click on update and again edit the JIRA ticket to see the field "Quality Comment" as mandatory.

- Also it doesnt stop state transition even when the field is made mandatory and not filled.

The only thing it does is that it doesnt allow to edit the JIRA till the time we fill the mandatory field field "Quality Comment".

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehavioursimport groovy.transform.BaseScript
@BaseScript FieldBehaviours behaviours
def sourcefield = getFieldByName('Quality Assessment')def RCAfield = getFieldByName('Quality Comment')
String sourceValue = sourcefield.getValue()
if(sourceValue.startsWith("1")){RCAfield.setRequired(true);} else {RCAfield.setRequired(false);}How can I resolve our two problems mentioned above. Even if we are able to solve the second problem of transitioning then also i am okay.Thanks,

Thanks Ben for your response!!

I put the below code in the server side script for a the custom field which is responsible for  change in the below "Quality Comment" and it worked.

For only below two options field should display and show as mandatory.

def QACommentfield = getFieldByName("Quality Comment")def failReasonfield = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())
def selectedoption1 = failReasonfield.getValue() as Stringdef selectedoption2 = failReasonfield.getValue() as Stringdef isOptionSelected1 = selectedoption1 == "1 - Alarming"def isOptionSelected2 = selectedoption2 == "2 - Warning"
QACommentfield.setHidden(! isOptionSelected1 && ! isOptionSelected2)QACommentfield.setRequired(isOptionSelected1 || isOptionSelected2)

Hi @Anirudh Pratap Verma , Based on your script, the values will only take place after an edit which is the expected behavior you have. You'll need to have a line above to check for when field are change on the screen to check against the value. Here's the example line: def sourcefield = getFieldById(getFieldChanged()) Would not recommend using start with 1. If you know the value is 1, would state it with an = statement. -Ben
