If "Due Date" contains a value, then "XYZ" field is mandatory Edited

[Eswar Reddy]

Hi There,

Here is the behavior script I'm creating

script would look like this for now:

def sourcefield = getFieldById("duedate")
def targetField = getFieldByName("XYZ")

targetField.setRequired(false)

if (sourcefield.getValue()){
    targetField.setRequired(true) 
} else {
    targetField.setRequired(false)
}

The field "Due Date" is a system field and there was a bug (SRJIRA-2758) where you can't get a system field form field by its name. You have to get by its ID instead:

def sourcefield = getFieldById("duedate")

However, it was fixed in ScriptRunner 6.19.0. I highly recommend for you to upgrade as there are a quite number of bugs that have been fixed from 6.12.0.

Regards, Eswar

Hi @Eswar Reddy 

Your code seems like "if Due Date field has no value, then XYZ will be required"

Did you try changing as below

targetField.setRequired(false)
if (sourcefield.getValue()){
   targetField.setRequired(true)
}

Hi @Tuncay Senturk _Snapbytes_ 

Appreciate your quick response.

Sorry just tried, didn't work.

I just need to check if date field contains a value?

Please advise.
