Hello, I want to fire an event in case a custom field "employee type" changed value. When I look at the examples for the condition at the Script Listener "Fires an event when a condition is true", I see 2 examples which I need to combine but I don't know how: * "Assignee changed" with coding "issue.assignee != originalIssue.assignee". * "Has select list value equal to" with coding "cfValues['My Select List']?.value == 'My value'". Example 1 gives me the check for the change of value of the field. Example 2 gives me the check a specific value of a 2-word custom field. And now: how do I combine these 2 to get my check on changed value of my custom field "Employee type"? Thanks.

@Alexey Matveev Hi @Sandra Meessen Did you get this working? Im trying the very same thing with a custom field (Type - User picker multi) but i can seem to get the condition working? My goal is when a user add's an assessor (user) on the edit screen the listener will run and create a sub-task for that assessor Thanks

It could be static errors. You can execute this script

Hello Alexey, sorry for my late response, busy with a lot of other Jira stuff. I'm sorry, but I don't understand your peace of code. I get to this point: but why the red "x"? What in the syntax is wrong? I'm sorry, I'm not trained in this coding, all learning by myself, thanks for your help

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Hello,

I guess it would be like this:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def customFieldName =  "your custom field name"
def cf = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName(customFieldName)

if (issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf).toString().equals(originalIssue.getCustomFieldValue(cf).toString)) {
 return false;
} else {
 return true
}

Hello Alexy, thanks for the help. Unfortunately I get an errormessage (see screenprint attached). Errormessage on Listener coding.JPG "tostring" seems to be the problem. How to correct?

Hello Alexey, that seems to work fine! Thank you. The only thing that doesn't work now is the notification I setup in the Notification Scheme based on the new event.

So, in my Listener, I defined above mentioned coding to check if my custom field value changed.
If that is true, I fire a new event.
This event is triggered in the Notifications Scheme to send a notification to a group. But this doesn't happen. I don't see my expected notification in the Jira mail queue and don't receive an email. What did I not do? What did I miss?

Thanks.
