ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud: Field(s) changed validator

Tamir Mubarak

Hello dear community, 

I'm switching our Jira Server Version to Jira Cloud. On the server version we used ScriptRunner for Validators and Post-Functions.

On the Server version it was easy to create a validator in the workflow, which checks if the value of a defined custom field was changed or not. In the Cloud version I need Jira expressions for this. Unfortunately, I'm not an expert in Jira expression. 
I would really appreciate if someone can help me with this requirement:

As a Jira admin I want to have a validator in the workflow (field changed validator) to make sure, that the value of a custom field (cascading select list) was changed before the transition. 

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

 

Best regards,

Tamir

Hi @Tamir Mubarak

For your requirement, you can use the ScriptRunner Script Validator as shown in the screenshot below:-

Once you are in the editor screen as shown in the screenshot below:-

You will need to enter a condition like this:-

issue.customfield_10114.child.value.length > 0

Please note you will need to change the custom field id according to your environment.

This sample code is also available in the ScriptRurnner for Jira Cloud Documentation.

Below is a screenshot of the complete configuration:-

I am also including a couple of test screenshots for your reference:-

1) First I create a new Issue. For now, the value of the Cascading Select List is not set as shown in the screenshot below:-

2) I try to transition the issue to In Progress and as expected the validation error is displayed:-

 

3) Next, I update the Cascading Select List and select some options for it and try to transition the issue to In Progress. As expected, the transition works successfully as shown in the screenshot below:-

I hope this helps to solve your question.

Thank you and Kind regards,

Ram
