Scripted workflow validator - checking field context?

Alex Christensen

I have a workflow validator on the Create transition of one of my workflows that looks like this:

cfValues.get("Module / Subprocess")?.keySet()?.size() == 2

This field is a cascading select field and we want both dropdowns within that field to be required. As far as I know, when you make this field required in the field configuration, only the first dropdown is actually required. We need both filled out, which is the reason for the scripted validator on the Create transition.

This scripted validator works correctly - however, all of our projects use this field except ONE project, even though all projects use the same issue type on which this field applies. We only have one workflow for this issue type so we don't have to manage tons of workflows for every project, so we'd really like to avoid creating a separate workflow just to not have this validator on one project. Our team of JIRA admins isn't very big, so we try to keep everything we need to manage to a minimum as much as possible.

So, for my question - is it possible to create a scripted workflow validator that checks if this field has the current project within one of its contexts? If yes, then it will check the validator written above.

Probably, but I suspect it will be much easier to just check against the one project that doesn't have it, by name.

Alternately, you could check the count of the first half of the cascading field; since it is mandatory, it being zero/null/whatever, should be sufficient to indicate that you don't need to validate the second half.
