How can I write a jira expression that fails transition if Fix Version doesn't contain hyphen (-)?

Stewart_ Emily _ Global D_T

I want to build a validator that won't let the user transition a ticket if one of the fix version values doesn't have a hyphen in it.

Background: We use fix version both for code releases which have a hyphen in them and for PI increments. The ticket will have a PI fix version on it, and I need the transition to fail if it also doesn't have a code release (with a hyphen) fix version on it.

Alternatively, if hyphen won't work, the validator could look for either: No-Deployment-Needed or a fix version containing 2025.

I've tried the Build-Your-Own Validator jira expression, but I don't have the coding skills to get it right.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Stewart_ Emily _ Global D_T,

Welcome to the Community! If I understand correctly, transition should work if at least one of the versions contains "-", in that case following should work:

issue.fixVersions != null
&& issue.fixVersions.some(item => item.name.indexOf("-") != -1)

 If you are new to Jira expressions, have a look on the Ultimate Validator that my team developed. It can generate the expression for you using simple UI

I hope this helps.

Cheers!
