Is there a way to build workflow validations on text fields?

Molly Favret

I have several custom fields of type "Text Field (<255 characters)" and am wondering if there is a way to perform some workflow validations on the fields. For example, I have a "Zip Code" field that I know should always be 5 digits long. Any zip codes entered that are not 5 digits should be caught as invalid. Is there a way to build in these types of checks into the workflow as validators, or is there a way to further customize a text field by saying how many characters it should be ? I've searched Atlassian answers and the Plugin Exchange but haven't been able to find anything. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

It's a very specific request so I doubt there is anything built-in. It's easy to do though with minimal programming... eg install script runner, go to validators, add validator, -> script validators -> simple scripted validator.

Then the condition in your case would be:

cfValues["ZipCode"]?.length() == 5

Obviously, double-check the name of your custom field.

Also don't forget to mark my answer as correct if it works for you ;-)

And you can mark my comments as helpful if you like.

Thanks! This works perfectly. Is it possible to use an OR statement? For example, my Zip field can be a 5 character string or N/A

cfValues['Current Zip'].length() == 5 OR cfValues['Current Zip'] == 'N/A'

This is what I tried but it is not working correctly. Thanks!

Thanks ;-) It all helps in my quest to get to 2nd place...
