in create validator want to require an Epic Link for only some issue types

Karla Russell

I'd rather not create different workflows for sub-tasks and Epics if I can help it. As such I'd like to have a simple groovy script that says

For these issue types ... if Epic Link is empty, return False.

Using Scripted (Groovy) Validator (JMWE add-on) I tried several different ways to get this to work. All failed. The piece I'm having trouble with is testing if Epic Link is empty.

Here's the last thing that didn't work.

if((issue.issueType.name == 'Improvement' || issue.issueType.name == 'New Feature') && !cfValues['epicLink']) { return false; }
return true;

All help appreciated.

Hi,

You can try this code, it worked for me:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager 
def epicLink = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName('Epic Link') 
def epic = issue.getCustomFieldValue(epicLink) 

if((issue.issueType.name == 'Improvement' || issue.issueType.name == 'New Feature') && !epic){ 
   return false 
} 

return true

When I test that within the validator creation page I get:

I'm using the JMWE scripted validator if it matters.

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: script15245815380461398564983.mport() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.Class) values: [class com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor]

Hi,

Maybe it's a copy-paste mistake...

I paste a screenshot of my configuration:

While I have someone that clearly knows what they are doing .... why can I not use the same code for "Original Estimate"? I'd like to require it for all but epics and bugs, but replacing 'Epic Link' with 'Original Estimate' does not work.

Hi,

Maybe you can try it this way:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager 
def originalEstimate = issue.originalEstimate 

if((issue.issueType.name == 'Epic' || issue.issueType.name == 'Bug') && !originalEstimate){ 
   return false 
} 

return true

Hope it helps.
