Workflow Condition - Based on the value of a field.

Bill Davis2

i have a business need in my workflow to allow a JIRA to Move from an Awaiting Approval Stage to an Approved Stage using a transition called 'Approve Issue'. But I have a few conditions that need to exist that limits who can see the Approve Issue Transition link.

There are two fields that need to be referenced in this case - Field A and Field B.

When the JIRA is in the Awaiting Approval stage the link will appear for differnt groups depending on the value in Field A:

If the value of Field A or Field B are < $1000 then only Group 1 has access to the Transition
If the value of Field A or Field B are $1000 to $3000 then only Group 2 has access to the Transition
If the value of Field A or Field B are > $3000 then only Group 3 has access to the Transition

i have been trying to figure out how to do this under the one transition and have been trying the Value Field Condition with the User Is In Group Condition, but I'm having troubles getting these rules straight.

Is anybody able to help me build these rules?

You have to make the condition in the right order. You have to start with the user is in group conditions and swith to OR. Than "add grouped condition" to each existed condition and than "add grouped condition" to them.

See the picture.

Is this the solution?

I understand exactly what you are saying, but I can not get the conditions to be grouped as you have them in the image. I tried multiple times and the conditions keep getting bumped out of the groupings and I end up with a slightly different set of conditions.

Why does JIRA make this so....painful when it's a simple Boolean logic we are attempting?

Radu Dumitriu

My 2 cents: For this kind of logic you should use some plugins, because this tends to explode in some hard-to-maintain installation.

with my baby (JJupin), this is only one condition and is written directly as:

return ( (userInGroup("Group 1", currentUser()) and (A < 1000 or B < 1000))

or (userInGroup("Group 3", currentUser()) && (A > 3000 || B > 3000))

or (userInGroup("Group 2", currentUser()) and ((A &gt;= 1000 and A &lt;=3000) or (B &gt;= 1000 and B &lt;= 3000)));

Note: this is untested, and only for illustation purposes; normally these values should be defined as constants somewhere, some checks should be added ....

You can try Jamie's Script Runner (same idea, groovy, free), or any other one that fits to this purpose.

well, code formatting kinda work

Bill Davis2

It's very easy to edit the values within an existing condition, less than 2 minutes, same as it would be to change in a formula that Radu has listed. If I ever get the conditions to line up, they would work, but I can not get them to line up...2 hours in and I'm still trying every method under the book to create this Boolean logic...lol

When I saw Marek's picture above, I had exactly the same thought as Radu. What if you need to change one of the constant values, eg 3000. Painful.

Marek Soukup

You have to create the conditions in the right order (from the top to the bottom):

Add new condition, select the user is in group and create the condition to Group 1
Add new condition, select the user is in group and create the condition to Group 2
Switch the operator to OR
Add new condition, select the user is in group and create the condition to Group 3
Add groupped condition on Group 1 condition and create the condition to Field A < $1000
Add groupped condition on Field A condition and create the condition to Field B < $1000
Switch the operator to OR between the Field A and Field B conditions
Add groupped condition on Group 2 condition and create the condition to Field A >= $1000
Add groupped condition on Group 2 condition and create the condition to Field B >= $1000
Switch the operator to OR between the Field A and Field B
Add groupped condition on Field A condition and create the condition to Field A <= $3000
Add groupped condition on Field B condition and create the condition to Field B <= $3000

The last condition is the same as the condition for Group 1. I hope this will work.

Thank you so much for giving me that detail, it works perfectly!
