Restrict issue creation with certain symbols

[Phil Evans]

Hi.

I want to restrict creation of issues from portal with certain symbols in Summary and Description.

I can put Simple Scripted Validator on workflow creation with

!issue.summary.value.contains("«") && !issue.summary.value.contains("»")

and it works, but how do i use this restriction only for portal request issues creation?

Or please advise how can i use this in Behaviours?

You can probaby tweak https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/calculate-the-working-days-between-two-dates a little bit to get it out.

Personally, I'd do it as a "scripted field"

forgive me, I've never done a scripted field, but is what you're saying different from the script Ravi and you mentioned?  Don't I create the 'answer' as a custom scripted field and then attach the script or are there multiple ways we're talking about?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Nothing to forgive, it's a perfectly good follow up question, especially as I've made a mistake!

The script we've pointed at is indeed for a scripted field.  I only glanced at the top bit of it to confirm it was code you might find useful, and assumed it was a post-function that set another field.  It's not, you should indeed paste it into a scripted field definition.

Note that when you create the scripted field, you probably want to set its "searcher" to "number range" and then when you're putting the script in, set the "template" to "number"

Hi @Angie Affolter 

Take a look at this script here to get started.
