ScriptRunner for Jira set condition on workflow validator "Require comment on transition"

Ardjan Moerkerken

We are using workflow in combination with Scriptrunner to set a validator.The validator we are using is "Require comment on transition" We want this validator to be used for anyone except one user.

The reason for the above is that we are using a plugin to bi-sync two instances of Jira by field, workflow and thus validator. The plugin seems to work but fails at the moment we activate a workflow where the validator is active. 

If we can add a condition on the script Require comment on transition(wich is possible on Simple scripted validator but not on comment on transition) like if the user is not x than the validator is enforced we would would be gratefull

 

If there is a other way, we would also be gratefull

Hi Ardjan!

If you use a Custom Scripted Field, you can use this script: 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowActionsBean
import com.opensymphony.workflow.InvalidInputException
import com.opensymphony.workflow.loader.WorkflowDescriptor

def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser.name

if (currentUser != "admin") {

  def comment = transientVars.get("comment")
  if (!comment) {

   def workflowActionsBean = new WorkflowActionsBean()

   def workflowDescriptor = transientVars.get("descriptor") as WorkflowDescriptor
   def actionDescriptor = workflowDescriptor.getAction(transientVars.get("actionId") as Integer)
   if (!workflowActionsBean.getFieldScreenForView(actionDescriptor)) {
     throw new InvalidInputException("You need to provide a comment for this transition but no screen is in use." +
     " Contact your administrator.")
   } else {
     throw new InvalidInputException("comment", "Please provide a comment for this transition")
   }
  }
}
