Need help in Scriptrunner validator (expression)

Question

Hello,

Need help in scriptrunner validator (expression) for multiline custom field. The requirement is to restrict the transition if that field (Multi line text field) is blank.

Tried using following expressions in scriptrunner validator but its working as expected.

issue.customfield_10073.plainText.length >1

issue.customfield_10073.length >1

issue.customfield_10221 != null

Please help me with the expression.

Thanks in advance.

We are trying to check a similar case.   We are using multiline textfield, checking its value at transition, and adding a script at validators ( using jira expression).  It works correctly the first time, but it fails if we remove the value and transition again.

We are using this expression   "issue.customfield_11430 != null ".

I tried to use issue.customfield_11430 != "" && issue.customfield_11430.trim() != ""  but it won't work.

I noticed it's failing for multi-line fields but works correctly for single-line text fields.

If anyone has any idea, please help me.

Hi Raju,

I have tested this expression in my instance with a multi-line text custom field, and it works as expected.

Can you please save the actual validator and run this as I believe it will run as expected when the workflow transition is run as the issue you are seeing is just the test not recognising the field type correctly.

Regards,

Kristian

Hi @Kristian Walker _Adaptavist_

I already tried this, but it is not working. here are some of the screen shots.

In above case, it should be true.

Please advice.
