Scriptrunner for Data Center Issue Creation Select Single Field behavior help

[Michael]

Hello,

Our organization uses a lot of required select single (Single Choice) fields (Single select drop downs) within our requests, and we are currently trying to move all of our "scripting customization" into behaviors within Scriptrunner. (We are currently using JQuery scripts within the custom fields / field configurations)

We are running into an issue with the select single (single option) fields where (by default) if the field does not have a default option selected, (which we do not want: Humans will often take the path of least resistance even if it's the wrong path) Jira adds a "None" option into the drop down.

Our end goal is to have this "None" option read as "Please select an option below", and ensure that users select a "real" option within the select single field before creating a request.

We realize that this is doable within the validators of workflows; however, we currently have the above mentioned JQuery setup on the fields themselves which is a "set once and forget" type of approach. An "add this validator to every new workflow with this field" type of solution is much more inefficient / ineffective compared to our current implementation.

Can someone please help us with a behaviors script that allows us to change the "None" value that is added by Jira (by default) to "Please select an option below"?

Thanks in advance,

~Mike

Your only real option would be to disable the ISSUE UPDATE notifications so that people don't get notified of any field edits and then use a Script Listener to send emails per your logic.

Not very simple but the end result would be whatever you want it to be.
