How to add a condition for a custom option list field in Jira and test if the field has the default None value?

Question

I want to add a condition in an workflow to not allow to go further if a custom field of type option list has the default value, value that is None (not the None string).

I tried to add condition != None  (as String) and it failed.

It is funny but I wasn't able to locate documentation regarding the values.

I have never used 3.x its a very old version of Jira . Try using -1 instead of None in the value field . This is just a wild guess hope it helps .

It's only about jira 3.x configuration, it's not about plugins. I added a screenshot with the Add condition fields. The problem is that I don't know how to configure the condition to check if the field is not set to default value, which is None (not None string).

Your question gives very less idea about your problem , can you elaborate ?

are you creating a plugin ?

can you post little more code ?

do you get any compilation errors or runtime exceptions ?

AFAIK there are plenty of documents available on creating a workflow condition ( plugin or script)
