compare custom filed value to a string

Olivera Tancheva

I have a custom field with multiselect options. I want to as a transition comparing the selected value of the custom field with a given String.

i did the following:

from com.atlassian.jira.component import ComponentAccessor;
from com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields import CustomField;
 
def value = issue.getCustomFieldValue(ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject("customfield_12032"));    
 

if (value != null && "Business Trips".equals(value[0].getName()) {
    return "This is not a valid vendor!";
}

 

But the transition does not work on Create. Any ideas?

Hi Olivera,

It appears that you are trying to write a scripted validator, yes? Here's what you need to fix it:

import com.atlassian.jira.component import ComponentAccessor
import com.opensymphony.workflow.InvalidInputException

 
def value = issue.getCustomFieldValue(ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject(12032.toLong()));    
 

if (value && value[0].getValue().equals("Business Trips")) {
    throw new InvalidInputException("This is not a valid vendor!")
}
return true

Please keep in mind, that since your custom field is a multi-select type, it's value is a collection of options. The code above always checks only the first selected option.
