I want to make two simple text fields required when the value of "Regression" field is set to "Yes"

[tomh]

Upon Bug creation:
When "Regression" value is set to "Yes"
Make the fields "Good version" "Bad version" required

Hi, @TomH 

If you have ScriptRunner, you can set it with Behaviours.

Yes, i am using script runner at the moment and i managed to get it now to make the fields throw an exception when they are empty but for some reason it is also throwing when i add values to the required fields

Here is the code im using:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue

import com.opensymphony.workflow.InvalidInputException

def issues = issue as MutableIssue

// Field names

def regressionFieldName = "Regression"

def goodVersionFieldName = "Good version"

def badVersionFieldName = "Bad version"

// Get field objects

def customFieldManage = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

def regressionField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find { it.name == regressionFieldName }

def goodVersionField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find { it.name == goodVersionFieldName }

def badVersionField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find { it.name == badVersionFieldName }

// Get field values

def regressionValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(regressionField) as String

def goodVersionValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(goodVersionField) as String

def badVersionValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(badVersionField) as String

// Check if Regression field is set to "Yes"

if (regressionValue == "Yes") {

// Check if Good version field is empty or null

if (goodVersionValue?.trim()?.isEmpty()) {

throw new InvalidInputException("Good version is required when Regression is set to Yes.")

}

// Check if Bad version field is empty or null

if (badVersionValue?.trim()?.isEmpty()) {

throw new InvalidInputException("Bad version is required when Regression is set to Yes.")

}

}

Looks like I understood the problem.

You have to split behaviour in two parts. I made an example. In example imagine, that my field "Self Development" is your "Regression"

[Evgenii]

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FormField

import groovy.transform.BaseScript

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours

FormField gvField = getFieldByName("Good Version")

FormField bvField = getFieldByName("Bad Version")

gvField.setHidden(true)

bvField.setHidden(true)

---

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FormField

import groovy.transform.BaseScript

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours

FormField affectedField = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())  // Lets imagine it's Regression CF

def affectedVal = affectedField.value

FormField gvField = getFieldByName("Good Version")

FormField bvField = getFieldByName("Bad Version")

if (affectedVal == "Yes") {

    gvField.setHidden(false)

    bvField.setHidden(false)

    gvField.setRequired(true)

    bvField.setRequired(true)

} else {

    gvField.setHidden(true)

    bvField.setHidden(true)

    gvField.setRequired(false)

    bvField.setRequired(false)

}

First of all, thanks a lot for the fast replies!
 

Where did you use this code? Im using "Simple scripted validator" It looks like you are using some other validator type maybe?
Is that in the custom field configuration?
Thanks

[Evgenii]

It's not vaidator. It's behaviour. It's used, for example, to prefill description, on issue creation (and many other cases)
It's located here:

https://your.address/plugins/servlet/scriptrunner/admin/behaviours

You wrote, that on creation you want users to fill required fields - fine, use behaviours :)

How it works - you create new behaviour, map it with needed project and issue type, then add there scripts, which I wrote. That's all, no validators needed.

Take a look, they are very cool in cases, when you want to automate actions, while user uses issue creat/edit screens.

OMG, thank you, i managed to make it work via script runner behaviours like you said.

Thanks a lot for the help

[tomh]

All works as expected. Thanks

[Evgenii]

Well, why not. Let's try zoom.

You need to look at changes of "Regression" field, not "Good version" or "Bad version".

You can log events with log.warn("Something to log: ${resultOfAction}")
