Hide the workflow transition based on the custom field value

jira_admin_cu

Hi Team,

I am trying to hide the workflow transition based on the custom field value.

I used "Simple scripted condition" with script runner for a transition, but it was showing when the "Product Type" is "ECS" or "Setup" values and hiding for other values, but I want reverse; it should be hidden when these values in "Product Type" field.

(issue.issueType.name == 'Sub-task') && ((cfValues['Product Type']*.value.contains("ECS")) || (cfValues['Product Type']*.value.contains("Setup")))

I tried with "Not," and then the transition shows for all values.

(issue.issueType.name == 'Sub-task') && ((!cfValues['Product Type']*.value.contains("ECS")) || (!cfValues['Product Type']*.value.contains("Setup")))

Is there any correct in my script? Can anyone please suggest one?

@Matt Doar's suggestion is a good one.

But I would also add that it helps to break down complex conditions with early return statements.

And remember that you must return true for the transition button to be visible.

if(issue.issueType.name != 'Sub-task') return false //never show the transition for non sub0tasks

def productTypes = cfValues['Product Type']*.value
def valuesToHideTransition = ['Setup', 'ECS']
if(valuesToHideTransition.intersect(productTypes)) return false //don't show if at least one select values is in valuesToHideTransition 

return true //if not false return statements were evaluated, return true and show the transition

This is a bit more advanced by using the "intersect" method that returns all elements common between 2 arrays. If the intersect is an empty array ([]) that means the 2 list have nothing in common. The groovy truthiness on the if statment means that if the common element list includes at least 1 element, then one of those option was found and we can return false to hide the transition.

The long-form way to do this would be:

if(productTypes.any{ it in valuesToHideTransition}) return false

Make life easier for yourself by using intermediate boolean variables such as

isSubtask = (issue.issueType.name == 'Sub-task')

then the logic will be easier to read. Document exactly when the expression should return true. Test the logic is correct outside the condition code to make the development cycle shorter.

Hi @PD Sheehan ,

Thank you for the quick response. Its seems not working because, we have three subtasks, and using same workflow. Sub-task, OB Task, and SN Task.

The code is working for Sub-task, its not showing the "Waiting for Build" transition when Product Type is ECS or Setup, and showing for all other values on sub-task (This is GOOD),

but, for other sub-task (OB Task and SN Task) issue types, there are no restrictions, the transition should show for all Product Values, but here, the transition is not showing.

PD Sheehan

Then change that first line from

if(issue.issueType.name != 'Sub-task') return false //never show the transition for non sub-tasks

if(issue.issueType.name != 'Sub-task') return true//alway show the transition for non Sub-tasks

Thank you @PD Sheehan . Its working as expected.

Where is the part of the code that actually hides the transition? I only see conditions listed here. It would be helpful to know how folks are hiding the transition.

Maciej Dudziak _Forgappify_

The Condition executes the code, if that code returns false, then the condition hides the transition

Atticus Bikos

I see what you mean. Is there a way to do something like this using a behavior instead of a condition in scriptrunner? I have a few workflows with many transitions and would prefer to use a Behavior to prevent a user from updating the status based on a custom field value. Using a condition would require adding the same script to every workflow transition.

Maybe, I am not familiar with the server version, however on the Cloud it is not possible
