Scriptrunner: make field mandatory based on dropdown value

[Jemima James]

Hi

1. Is there some website that lists out the groovy packages that can be imported for Jira?
2. I would like to make a field mandatory based on certain values in a dropdown (when the issue is being updated). How do I achieve this using Scriptrunner? I am very new to this plugin and to groovy so I find it very confusing.

Hi @Jemima James ,

in order to do that you need to setup a behaviour provided by ScriptRunner.

In particular you need to get your dropdown value, perform a check on that value and make the other field mandatory.

Here a useful link https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/behaviours-overview.html

Hope this helps,

Fabio

Hi @Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_ 

I had already gone through the link before. But to get to my expected outcome, the available configurations dont help.

Seems I need to write a script but I do not know how to do that in groovy.

Hi @Jemima James ,

you can add the following code associated to your behaviour for project/issuetype and to dropdown field

def dropdownCF = getFieldByName("YOUR_DROPDOWN_FIELD_NAME"); 
def fieldCF = getFieldById("YOUR_FIELD_NAME"); 

String dropdownValue = dropdownCF .getValue();

if("YOUR_VALUE_FOR_MANDATORY_CHECK".equalsIgnoreCase(dropdownValue )){
fieldCF.setRequired(true);

} else {

fieldCF.setRequired(false);

}

Hope this helps,

Fabio
