how to validate a custom dropdown field value against another dropdown field value in JIRA

Mamta Verma

Suppose we have 2 dropdown fields:  Requested date &  Target date

the scenario is:

1. Requested date (single select dropdown) = 1802, 1806, 1810, 1902
2. Target date (single select dropdown) = 1802, 1806, 1810, 1902
3. The validation is ‘Target date’ cannot be lesser than ‘Requested date’

Hello,

What are the numbers? Are these values of the custom field or option ids?

If they are values then your code would be like this:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
def reqDate = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Requested date")
def targetDate = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Target date")
<span>int reqDateValue = Integer</span><span>.</span><span>parseInt</span><span>(issue.getCustomFieldValue(reqDate).toString()</span><span>)</span>
<span>int targetDateValue = Integer</span><span>.</span><span>parseInt</span><span>(issue.getCustomFieldValue(targetDate).toString()</span><span>)</span>

if (targetDateValue < reqDate) {
 return false;
}

return true;
