I need to validate the values entered and the symbol too.

Hi @Barkha Singh 

What is the field type of the field that contains the value to be validated?

Also, at what point do you need to validate the value? Issue creation? During a transition?

Finally, you specified Confluence Server as your platform, did you mean Jira Server?

[Barkha Singh]

It is a custom field and we need to validate the value during issue creation .
Yes , my bad its Jira server.

What type of custom field? Single line text? Number? Other?

[Barkha Singh]

Single line text

Then you can use a Scripted (Groovy) Validator with a script like:

issue.get("fieldId") ==~ /\d\d\.\d\d€/

which will pass only if the text field contains a string that's exactly two digits, a decimal point, two digits and the € sign. You can use a more sophisticated regular expression of you want to accept different formats.

Thanks David. Will try it out

[Barkha Singh]

That works but in case i have to enter 245753.00 then do i need to give that many \d  or we have any other way to do it ?

[David Fischer _Appfire_]

In that case you can do:

issue.get("fieldId") ==~ /\d+\.\d\d€/

which forces to have at least one digit before the decimal point.
