Field validation for a single issue type

Frank Winkler

Hi,

we have a custom field "Affects version(s)". This should be made mandatory for a group of projects - but only for one issue type (Bug). In workflow transitions it's easy to do this validation using a Custom Script Validator from ScriptRunner. But how can I do this when the issue is edited - Edit is no workflow transition?

I suppose this could be done using Behaviours but couldn't find the point where to put my validation script.

Thx in advance!

Frank

Hi @Frank Winkler

Yes, you can do it from Behaviours.

Admin cog -> Add-ons -> Behaviours

Add new behaviour
Click "add mapping" to map it to the projects you want
Click "Fields" to choose the field you want.
Once you choose the field you have 3 behaviours for it:
- Required (Optional)
- Writable (Readonly)
- Shown (Hide)

Choose "Required"

That's it

Hi @Nir Haimov,

thx for your reply. Unfortunately this would make the selected field required for all issue types. But it must be mandatory only for Bugs.

I think the solution could be a script like this (as Initialiser and at field "Issue type")

def issueTypeId = getFieldById("issuetype").getValue() as String
def affectsVersionField = getFieldById("customfield_11023") 
if ( affectsVersionField ) {
 if (issueTypeId == "1") { //Bug
        affectsVersionField.setRequired(true)
    } else { 
        affectsVersionField.setRequired(false)
    }
}

But unfortunately at the moment it doesn't work. I'll have a look at it tomorrow.

Regards!

You are right, it will be mandatory for all,

Let me know tomorrow if your script work or not.

Hi Nir,

after some research (first I used a wrong field ID) this script works perfectly.

def issueTypeId = getFieldById("issuetype").getValue() as String
def affectsVersionField = getFieldById('versions') 
if ( affectsVersionField ) {
    affectsVersionField.setRequired(issueTypeId == "1")  //Bug or not
}

Best regards!

Frank
