Making one field OR a second field required with Scriptrunner Behaviour

Marco Brundel

Hi,
using a Scriptrunner Behavior I want to check on a Jira Service Management Request type whether issue-picker field (Field A) OR a URL field (Field is filled by the customer.

Fields A OR B must therefore be filled at least.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what the script should look like?

Hi @Marco Brundel

For your requirement, you should use ScriptRunner' Behaviour. You can try something like this:-

For the first field, i.e. the text field:-

def sampleText = getFieldById(fieldChanged)
def sampleTextValue = sampleText.value.toString()

def ipName = getFieldByName('IP Name')
def ipNameValue = ipName.value

sampleText.required = true
ipName.required = true

sampleText.clearError()
ipName.clearError()

if (!sampleTextValue && !ipNameValue) {
 sampleText.setError('Either Sample Text of IP Name should be filled')
 ipName.setError('Either Sample Text of IP Name should be filled')
}

if (sampleTextValue) {
 ipName.required = false
}

if (ipNameValue) {
 sampleText.required = false
}

For the second field, i.e. the issue picker:-

def ipName = getFieldById(fieldChanged)
def ipNameValue = ipName.value

def sampleText = getFieldByName('Sample Text')
def sampleTextValue = sampleText.value.toString()

sampleText.required = true
ipName.required = true

sampleText.clearError()
ipName.clearError()

if (!sampleTextValue && !ipNameValue) {
 sampleText.setError('Either Sample Text of IP Name should be filled')
 ipName.setError('Either Sample Text of IP Name should be filled')
}

if (sampleTextValue) {
 ipName.required = false
}

if (ipNameValue) {
 sampleText.required = false
}

Please note that the sample code above is not 100% exact to your environment. Hence, you will need to make the required modifications.

Below is a screenshot of the Behaviour configuration:-

Basically, what the Behaviour configuration above does is that if fields A and B are not filled, it will display a field error on both fields. If either one of the fields is filled, the error message is removed, and the 2nd field that is not yet filled will become optional.

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

Thank you and Kind regards,

Ram
