Can we set a custom field as mandatory based on other custom field value in same transition screen ?

Sys Admin

We have configured a transition Namely "Detail Analysis Completed". In this Transition there is 2 fields -

1) Global in nature? [ Field Value = 11425 ]

2) Target Project Name(s) [ Field value = 11426 ]

In "Global in nature?" field there is 2 values -

1) Y [ valueid = 11588 ]

2) N [ Value ID = 11589 ]

Now we Need to set "Target Project Name(s)" field as mandatory when "Global in nature?" field value is "Y". Please note both "Global in nature?" and "Target Project Name(s)" are in same transition screen. Do we need to set any post function/condition/validator for that? If yes, then could you please provide us steps ?

Previously we have succuessfully impleamented "Show a particular customfield based on another customfield value" by configuring customised plugin using js script. Please find the js script below for previous case -

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function (e, context) {
    callChangeFunction();
});
callChangeFunction();
function  callChangeFunction(){
        showHidField();
        // dropdown custom field change function
    $("#customfield_10020").change(function() {
        showHidField();
    });
 
}
    function showHidField(){
        //drop down field selected value
        var dropDownFieldval =
        $.trim($("#customfield_10020 :selected").text());
            //test field1
            $("#customfield_10221").closest('div.field-group').hide();
        if(dropDownFieldval == 'New Machine Required'){
            $("#customfield_10221").closest('div.field-group').show();
        }
 
    }
});

Can we using same procedure for "set a customfield required based on another customfield value" ? If so then could you please provide us the steps?

i would suggest to refrain from using JQuery to do the task at hand, as after jira upgrade the code becomes hard to maintain, instead put the validation in the validation phase of the workflow transition using the scriptRunner, "has custom field value equal to" - https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/wiki/display/GRV/Script+Runner

Sys Admin

Hi Tarun

I have already used Scrprunner "Has custom ield eqal to" validation in the transtion. But after configuring this transition is not showing. Please Suggest

Tarun Sapra

Hi,

Please elaborate on - " But after configuring this transition is not showing."

Sys Admin

I have add "Has custom ield eqal to" in "Detail Analysis Completed" transition condition using Script Runner simple scipt. I have mentioned following line -

cfValues['Global in nature?'] == 'Y'

But after doing this "Detail Analysis Completed" not showing in the screen. Could you please inform if I did anything wrong? If so then could please give me the exact steps

Or, if you want to get over head-aches: http://confluence.kepler-rominfo.com/display/TR/Make+a+custom+field+required+based+on+another+custom+field

See this code snippet -

CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = componentManager.getCustomFieldManager()
String sourceCfId = "customfield_10030"
String targetCfId = "customfield_10030"
CustomField cfSource = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(sourceCfId)
CustomField cfTarget = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(targetCfId)
if (issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfSource) != "Major") {
    issue.setCustomFieldValue(cfTarget, "some new value")
}

and see here, to throw validation error, you just have to initialize InvalidInputException

https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/wiki/display/GRV/Validators

Now you can check that the field "Target Project Name(s" is not empty and not null if the other custom field has a value 'Y'

If you now tweak the above code acc. to your requirements and put it in the validation condition, things should work.

Sys Admin

I have configured below mentioned script in Script Validator simple script "Has custom field" validation -

Script workflow function : Simple scripted validator : Checks script:
CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = componentManager.getCustomFieldManager()
String sourceCfId = "customfield_11425"
String targetCfId = "customfield_11426"
CustomField cfSource = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(sourceCfId)
CustomField cfTarget = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(targetCfId)
if (issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfSource) = "Y") {
    issue.setCustomFieldValue(cfTarget, "some new value")
}

But after configuring this "Target Project's" Field set required for Both 'Y' and 'N' of "Global in nature?" field. This is not my requirement. My requirement is to set "Target Project's" field required only for "Y" value of "Global in nature?" field. Could please check my code and correct if any wrong

Tarun Sapra

First and foremost, your "if statement" is Wrong, you are assigning a variable instead of checking, as you have used single = operator in the if statement.

if(issue.getCustom.....("global in nature....") =='Y'){

if(issue.getCustom....("target...") == null){

invaliad exception object initialization

}

}

First check is whether the value is "Y" and then we check if the value is null and if it's null which it shouldn't be then we initialize the exception object

In the above code snippet I have used the custom field name as I don't know their IDs thus in your code stick to the IDs like you have posted above.

Sys Admin

Hi Tarun,

As per your suggestion I have used below mentioned code in Script Runner Validator but after configuring this "Target Project" Field has been set mandatory for both Y and N value of "Global in nature?" Customfield. Please help. Another point we are using Jira 5.2.4.1 version. Code is as below -

CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = componentManager.getCustomFieldManager()
String sourceCfId = "customfield_11425"
String targetCfId = "customfield_11426"
CustomField cfSource = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(sourceCfId)
CustomField cfTarget = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(targetCfId)
if(issue.getCustomFieldValue("customfield_11425") == 'Y'){
if(issue.getCustomFieldValue("customfield_11426") == null){
invaliad exception object initialization
}
}

Hi Radu,

This operation working when I have used below mentioned SIL code. But if we need to use SIL code we need to purchase JJUPIN Plugin. Which is not allowed from our company. So could you please provide us simple script validator code ? For your info I am providing you the SIL code below -

string errorMsg = "Target Project Name(s) field is required.";
if(customfield_11425 == "Y" &amp;&amp; !hasInput("customfield_11426")) {
return false, "customfield_11426", errorMsg;
}
