CF Plugin: Problem when creating Issue

[Viktor Mirzoyan]

I've created a multiselect custom field type in which I populate my own "options". Although, my options show, when a user clicks Create, an error message is displayed:

Invalid value 'Hello 1' passed for customfield 'test'. Allowed values are: []

Code:

@Override

public Map getVelocityParameters(Issue issue, CustomField field, FieldLayoutItem fieldLayoutItem)

{

Map params = super.getVelocityParameters(issue, field, fieldLayoutItem);

List optList = new ArrayList();

optList.add("Hello 1");

optList.add("Hello 2");

params.put("options", optList);

return params;

}

Velocity template:

#customControlHeader ($action $customField.id $customField.name $fieldLayoutItem.required $displayParameters $auiparams)

#if ($value)

#set ($selectedValues = $value)

#end

<select class="select" id="$customField.id" multiple="multiple" name="$customField.id" size="5">

#if ($fieldLayoutItem && $fieldLayoutItem.required == false)

<option value="-1"#if (!$selectedValues || $selectedValues.empty || $selectedValues.contains("-1")) selected="selected"#end>${i18n.getText('common.words.none')}</option>

#end

#foreach ($item in $options)

<option#if ($selectedValues && $selectedValues.contains($item)) selected="selected"#end value="$textutils.htmlEncode($item)">

$item

</option>

#end

</select>

#customControlFooter ($action $customField.id $fieldLayoutItem.fieldDescription $displayParameters $auiparams)

Override validateFromParams method and do nothing there. See if it helps.

Didn't seem to do anything. I saw a previous post from someone who had this issue, and they also suggested overriding that method, but didn't specificy any details.

[Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]]

Not sure if it is changed in the later versions but it used to work.

[Viktor Mirzoyan]

What do you mean by remove option values? I'm a little confused.

[Viktor Mirzoyan]

Scratch that. Good news, Jobin you were right, overriding validateFromParams worked.

Turns out my changes didnt go through when i tried it out the first time. Thanks!

As far as I know you need to have valid options. One approach I've taken is to remove option values, but whatever's left still need to be valid options.

Glad it worked. I was confused why it didn't work!
