Script Runner Behaviours - How to hide required custom fields?

Relja Mihajlovic

I have a drop down with two options and I want to hide some custom required fields when one of the options is selected. The problem is that when I hide a field it stays required. So i cant complete issue creaton.

const customDateField = getFieldById("customfield_10062");
const dropDown= getFieldById("customfield_10059");

if(dropDown.getValue().value == 'option1'){
    customDateField.setRequired(false);
    customDateField.setVisible(false);
}else{
    customDateField.setVisible(true);
    customDateField.setRequired(true);
}

So the natural thing for me was to set the field required to false when I hide it but then I get the error:

Uncaught Error: UIM tried to set an invalid value for "isRequired" property on a field (fieldId: "customfield_10062", fieldType: "com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:datepicker")

Can someone help me?

Hi @Relja Mihajlovic and thanks for your question.

Can you try this code please,

const customDateField = getFieldById("customfield_10062");
const dropDown= getFieldById("customfield_10059");

if(dropDown.getValue().value == 'option1'){
    customDateField.setRequired(false);
    customDateField.setVisible(false);
}else{
    customDateField.setVisible(true);
    customDateField.setRequired(true);
}

I tested the case you mentioned in my own environment and I see that it's working properly. You might have called the name you used in your definition incorrectly. If the issue persists, please provide further feedback.

Best,

Murat Seven

Hi @Relja Mihajlovic

I assume you require fields via Behaviours (not jira fields config scheme).

I can't see tipDokumenta definition in your script.

Could you please check the return value below?

tipDokumenta.getValue()

You can also use formField.setHelpText(helpText) to see the value on screen as a debugging purpose.

Please take a look at this: API Quick Reference

Sorry forgot to change that. I edited the code to poste it here and forgot to change the name of the variable.

So that part is good.
I will fix my post. Thank you for pointing that out to me.

Do you know what could be the problem since its not that?

When i remove these two lines

customDateField.setRequired(false);

customDateField.setRequired(true);

Code works fine, fields get hidden. But when i try to setRequired it gives me the error?
Maybe its because my custom fields are pre setup as required?

@Relja Mihajlovic ,

Are you using the 'required' action with field configuration? I think instead of required custom fields, you should set this in the behavior script using 'setRequired.' Could you try it this way?

Relja Mihajlovic

Yea i was using 'required' action with field configuration, now it works, thank you @Murat Seven .

But it kind of defeats the purpose?
Now I need to add every project to behaviour mapping (Script Runner) that I want this field to be required.

Is there a way to make this custom filed required (with field configuration) for some projects and for some not?

I guess that's where Field Configuration Schemes come into play?
