ScriptRunner Validator that checks Parent Issue Status

Question

I would like to add a Validator on the Create transition of a Story that prevents the user from creating the Issue if A) the Parent field is empty, or B)  if the Parent Issue status is "Done".

I have tried this ScriptRunner script, but it is not being triggered, and the validation automatically returns false:

if (issue.parent != null) {

return issue.parent.status.name != 'Done';

} else {

return false;

}

Any tips would be appreciated!

Thank you

I am still receiving this error message when the Validator is triggered with the above code:

"timestamp": "2024-04-08T17:44:17.094Z", 
"webhookEvent": "jira_expression_evaluation_failed",
"expression": "if(issue.getParentObject() != null) { return \"Done\".equalsIgnoreCase(issue.getParentObject().getStatus().getName());} else { return false;}",
"errorMessages": [  "Evaluation failed: \"issue.getParentObject\" - Unrecognized property of `issue`: \"getParentObject\" ('getParentObject'). Available properties of type 'Issue' are: 'assignee'

Hi @Tom Yan ,

please try the following code :

if(issue.getParentObject()!=null) {

return "Done".equalsIgnoreCase(issue.getParentObject().getStatus().getName());

} else

return false;

Hope this helps,

Fabio
