How to retrieve affected version via script runner?

[xion_admin]

During creation of a bug issue, I need a validator to check whether the affected version field is empty or not?

So I want to prevent the creation of the issue, when no affected version was inserted.

How can I do this with script runner?

Hi JIRA Admin,

This requirement can be achieved using a simple Scripted Validator placed on the create transition which uses the code and configuration shown below.

Code:

issue.getAffectedVersions().size() >=1

Configuration:

Example output:

I hope this helps.

Thanks

This works, however, is there a way to mark the field with a little asterisk?

[Kristian Walker _Adaptavist_]

Hi,

In order to show the asterisk you would need to mark the field as required in the field configuration scheme like Nic suggested below.

Thanks

Hi JIRA Admin,

If this answer was useful can you please mark it as accepted so it is easy to find for other users with a similar question.

Many Thanks

Use this:

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.opensymphony.workflow.InvalidInputException
Issue myIssue = issue

    if (! myIssue.getAffectedVersions().size()) {
        invalidInputException = new InvalidInputException("versions", "Affects Version/s is required in this context.")    
    
}

This doesnt work for me. I could create the issue.

I also get an error message from script runnter: "the variable invalidInputException is undeclared"

Or just make it mandatory in the field ocnfiguration

[xion_admin]

I tried this first, but for unknown reason it didn't worked for me.

I just marked the field as required. Should I need to enable something else too?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Nope.  If you have marked it required in the field configuration correctly (I usually manage to do it in the wrong field configuration), then you'll get the mandatory star next to the field on create and won't be able to complete without selecting a version.
