Why am I getting an error on this jira expression code in a Scriptrunner validator?

Cash Coyne_tanpr0

I have this code in a scriptrunner validator:

let TotPoints = 0;
if (issue.customfield_11667 != null) {
let TotPoints = TotPoints + issue.customfield_11667;
};

But when I use it, I get this error:

Jira expression failed to parse: line 4, column 1: let, IDENTIFIER, return, throw, !, -, typeof, (, null, true, false, NUMBER, STRING, TEMPLATE_LITERAL, new, [, {, try or if expected, } encountered.

What am I doing wrong?

I am not sure what tool you are using, but the error message suggests that this is indeed a Jira expression. Then, you will need an else clause and probably return statements inside

However, assuming that TotPoints may differ, I would rewrite it to the following:

let TotPoints = 0;
issue.customfield_11667 != null ? TotPoints + issue.customfield_11667 : TotPoints

Try it without the trailing semicolon on the last line?

Hello @Cash Coyne ,

Please try like below

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def issue = issue

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

def totPointsField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Your Custom Field Name") // Replace with the actual name of your custom field

def totPoints = 0

if (issue.getCustomFieldValue(totPointsField) != null) {

totPoints = totPoints + issue.getCustomFieldValue(totPointsField)

}

Hi @Aswin Raj D

The sample code you have provided is not applicable for Jira Cloud. This is meant for the Jira Server / DC Environment.

Hi @Cash Coyne

The approach you have tried will not work. When using the Jira Cloud, the Validator only allows the usage of Jira Expressions. Hence, your code fails.

I suggest referring to this ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud documentation to view the example expressions that can be used for the Validator.

Also, I suggest looking through the ScriptRunner Code snippets for examples of Validator Expression.

Thank you and Kind regards,
Ram

Nope, get this when I drop the trailing semicolon on the last line:

Jira expression failed to parse: line 4, column 1: let, IDENTIFIER, return, throw, !, -, typeof, (, null, true, false, NUMBER, STRING, TEMPLATE_LITERAL, new, [, {, try or if expected, } encountered.
