ScriptRunner validator - url field contains ".pdf"

Question

Using Jira Data Center 9.4.15

I have a custom field called "Report PDF URL". I have a workflow transition step where I'd like to validate that the url entered into that custom field contains ".pdf".

I found this previous post:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/URL-Validation-for-Free-Text-field/qaq-p/1987373

and the suggested scriptrunner:

cfValues['URL Field Name'] ==~ /^((?:https?:\/\/)?(?:www\.)?[-\w@:%.+~#=]{2,256}\.[a-z]{2,6}\b[-\w@:%+.~#?&\/=]*|)$/

...but I'm unclear how to modify this for my use case.

Please help, thanks.

@Florian Bonniec ,

Ahh, this confused me. This question was tagged for Cloud, but @Jennifer Maurer is using DC as mentioned in her question.

I will repost what I linked:

On DC, Scriptrunner's regular expression validator only supports:

* System fields - Description, Environment, and Summary
* Custom fields - Text Field (single line) and Text Field (multi-line)

https://docs.adaptavist.com/sr4js/latest/features/workflows/validators/regular-expression-validator

You can still do this check, just need to write the script.

Sorry for the confusion!

Kind regards,

Bobby

You do not have the Regular Expression Check validator ? It works on my side.

Hi @Jennifer Maurer ,

It looks you are right, our regex validator only supports text fields at the minute. I will feed this back to the team, however in the meantime you can achieve this with the Simple Scripted Validator with the following script:

def value = issue.getCustomFieldValue('Custom Url Field') // This needs to be your field name
def pattern = /.*\.pdf$/

boolean match = value ==~ pattern

return match

Could you give this a go and let me know how you get on?

Kind regards,

Bobby
