Complex validator in Jira cloud

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to do the following validation :

Customer field (Fixed version) must be field upon doing a certain transition, Unless the component/s equals to TeamA or TeamB.

* Tried combining multiple validators with OR, but it seems that I can't select the component field on RegExp validation (since Component/s is not a custom field)

* Tried with ScriptRunner but I see that it can't script validators in Jira cloud

is there another solution I can try for that flow ?

Hi Tal,

In case you are still looking for a way to have complex custom validators in Jira Cloud, there now is an app that enables this. It's called Cloud Workflows and allows you to use Jira Expression to create your validators. If I understand your use case correctly, it can easily be done in a Jira Expression like this:

issue.fixVersions != [] 
     || 
issue.components
   .filter(c => c.name == "TeamA" || c.name == "TeamB")
   .length > 0

The app is available here: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220407/cloud-workflows

Let me know if you need any help getting started.

Full disclosure: I work for the Vendor who created this app.

Hi Tal,

Thank you for your question.

I can confirm that the ScriptRunner for JIRA Cloud plugin is unable to perform any dynamic validation on issue forms.

The reason we are unable to provide this functionality is due to the restricted functionality and API's which Atlassian provide inside JIRA Cloud, due to the fact that Atlassian only provides a Rest API in Jira Cloud and not the same Java API that the server version contains.

You can also see more details on the differences between the cloud and server versions of the add-on in the documentation page located here.
