Use validator to prevent creating duplicate sub-task

Mobileye Atlassian Licenses

Hello,

I want to use validator of a transition to prevent creating the same sub-task with the same summary.

 

For that - I'm using the following simple scripted validator:

ScriptRunner workflow function - Simple scripted validator (condition apply).

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()

Collection subTasks = issue.getSubTaskObjects()

if(issue.isSubTask())
{
    def issueParent = issue.getParentObject()
    def parentSubTasks = issueParent.getSubTaskObjects()
    
    def currentSubTaskSummary = issue.getSummary()
    
    !parentSubTasks.find{it.getSummary() == currentSubTaskSummary}
}

 

The problem is that I still see the option to use the transition even though I'm not expecting to see it with this validator.

 

Any idea? 

 

Thanks,

Bar

Hello,

Validator do not hide transition buttons. They just check the input in the transition screen and can throw an error if the values are wrong. 

What you are looking for are conditions not validators
