Need a Multiple User selection expression for JMWE validator

Question

I'm creating a Validator that checks to see if a multi-user selection field (issue.customfield_11887) doesn't contain the Issue reporter.

I've tried the following, but it doesn't seem to work.

!!issue.customfield_11887 || issue.reporter

Any clues would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jamie

Hi @Jamie Gordon

try this instead:

!issue.customfield_11887 || !issue.customfield_11887.some(u => u.accountId == issue.reporter.accountId)

Hi Jamie:

You cannot use the "||" operator, because it means a OR testing.  Your code is customfield_11887 is not empty or "reporter".  The reporter test is not doing anything.

You may need to obtain the reporter information (i.e. issue.reporter.accountId) first, then compare it with content of your other custom field.

Take a look on using Jira Expression when creating your Scripted (Groovy) Validator via JMWE -

At this time, I have not constructed the script to test it out due to my other work related tasks.

Hope this helps.
