How to Restrict Issue Type Change During “Move”

Pandey, Anil [Non-Kenvue]

Prevent converting a Test Execution to another issue type when there is a test run

Hi All using below code I saw its working in log but how can I restrict the move if I have test runs

I shared the below code that's not restricting the move click but issue got reset after final changes

async function checkTestRuns(issueId, token) {
const query = `
query ($issueId: String!) {
getTestExecution(issueId: $issueId) {
testRuns(limit: 10) {
total
results {
id
status { name }
test { jira(fields: ["key", "summary"]) }
}
}
}
}
`;

const response = await api.fetch('https://xray.cloud.getxray.app/api/v2/graphql', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({ query, variables: { issueId } })
});

if (!response.ok) {
console.error('❌ Failed to fetch test runs:', await response.text());
return false;
}

const data = await response.json();
console.log("data",JSON.stringify(data))
const total = data?.data?.getTestExecution?.testRuns?.total || 0;
return total > 0;
}

// Check if issue type changed from Test Execution while test runs exist
export async function validateIssueTypeChange(event, token) {
const issueId = event?.issue?.id;
const changelog = event?.changelog?.items || [];
const issueTypeChange = changelog.find(i => i.field === 'issuetype');

const fromTypeId = issueTypeChange?.from;
const toTypeId = issueTypeChange?.to;
const currentTypeName = event.issue.fields.issuetype?.name;

console.log('Type change:', { fromTypeId, toTypeId, currentTypeName });

// Only validate if moving away from Test Execution

if (fromTypeId && toTypeId && currentTypeName !== 'Xray Test Execution') {

    const hasRuns = await checkTestRuns(issueId, token);

    if (hasRuns) {

      console.log('🚫 Issue type conversion blocked due to existing test runs.');

        await api.asApp().requestJira(route`/rest/api/3/issue/${issueId}`, {

        method: 'PUT',

        headers: {

          'Content-Type': 'application/json'

        },

        body: JSON.stringify({

          fields: {

            issuetype: { name: 'Xray Test Execution' }

          }

        })

      });

      return {

        success: false,

        message: '❌ Cannot convert Test Execution to another issue type while test runs exist.'

      };

    }

    else {      

return { success: true };

    }

  }

// Main validator entry point
export async function run(event) {
console.log('Incoming event:', JSON.stringify(event, null, 2));
//const issueId = event?.issue?.id;
const token = XRAY_TOKEN;

const typeChangeResult = await validateIssueTypeChange(event, token);
console.log("typeChangeResult",typeChangeResult)
if (!typeChangeResult) return typeChangeResult;

}

Welcome @Pandey, Anil [Non-Kenvue] 

I'd suggest to use an easier approach which is adding a property to your workflow on your moving transition:

Key: jira.permission.edit.denied

Value: leave it empty
