get value from selected customfield

Olivera Tancheva

I am trying to compare a value from a multiselect customfield. i did the following code:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.util.UserMessageUtil

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager();
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
def cField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_12032");
def cFieldValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cField);

if (cFieldValue.toString() == "Business Trips")
{
UserMessageUtil.error('Please select project.')
}

But the code only works when I put cFieldValue.toString() == "None". I can't seem to figure out why it doesn't work for the other options.

Fields contain different types of data, depending on what they hold, so you need to take account of that when using "getCustomFieldValue(field)". Number fields give you a number, as do estimates. Date and date/time fields give you a date stamp object. Select lists give you "option" objects back, and so-on.

You say it's a multi-select field. These contain options, but because they can contain many, they will return a list or array type thing containing 0, 1 or many options.

You will need to iterate over the list you get back and look for "Business Trips" in the set of elements.

Hello @Olivera Tancheva

As @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- has already shared, the multi-select list will return a list of options. Thus, you might need to traverse the options in the list.

Here's a working sample

Can you give me a hint with the code? As a following of my code?

Tarun Sapra

if(cFieldValue) {

List<Option> options = (List<Option>)cFieldValue

if(options && options.first().getValue() == "Business Trip"){

  UserMessageUtil.error('Please select project.')

}
}

It gives me an error "Unable to resolve class Option"?

Olivera Tancheva

It doesn't work without the casting part. So I did something like this:

def cFieldValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cField);

if(cFieldValue) {

ProjectImpl project = (ProjectImpl)cFieldValue

if(project && project.getName() == "Business Trips"){

throw new InvalidInputException("Please select a corresponding Project")

}
}

and it works now! But the scirpt sometimes executes and sometimes doesn't!

What is the trigger for the script? How is it being called?

Olivera Tancheva

It's a custom scripted validator! When the issue is created from a popup window the script doesn't execute.

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Which "popup window" is this, and where is the validator placed in the workflow exactly? (Which transition, and where does that transition start and end?)
