Access issue fields during Create

[Jozef Vandenmooter]

I'm trying to write a ScriptRunner Validator script that throws an error when the user did not link the issue (Defect) to a parent (Story) during the Create action.

I can't find a way to access the fields of the issue because at that point it's not stored in the database yet. How do I do that?

I know it can be done using a Behaviour, but in this case I'd like to use a Validator.

Hi @Jozef Vandenmooter  have you checked this :- https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/How-to-validate-issue-type-on-linked-issue-field-on-create/qaq-p/523501

Hi @Vikrant Yadav thanks - I actually did look at that one, but I couldn't get it to work because one of the methods gives me an error:

Any idea how to fix that?

This is on Jira 8.7.1 and SR 6.2.1

@Jozef Vandenmooter have you tried this one also :-

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.IssueLinksSystemField
import com.opensymphony.workflow.InvalidInputException
import webwork.action.ActionContext
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink


MutableIssue issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject("")

def fieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getFieldManager()
def linksSystemField = fieldManager.getField("issuelinks") as IssueLinksSystemField

def request = ActionContext.getRequest()

if (request) {
def params = request.getParameterMap()
def issueLinkingValue = linksSystemField.getRelevantParams(params) as IssueLinksSystemField.IssueLinkingValue

for ( link in issueLinkingValue.getLinkedIssues() ){
def object=ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject(link)
if(object.getIssueType().toString() != 'Initiative'){
throw new InvalidInputException(IssueFieldConstants.ISSUE_LINKS,
"Note: You must link this Deployment Request to a Initiative.")
}
}
}

@Vikrant Yadav, that one gives me the same error. Also, there's no need to define the issue, right? It gives me a warning issue is already a binding variable:

That code actually comes straight off of Adaptavist's Examples page:

https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/5.5.7/jira/recipes/workflow/validators/validate-attachments-links-in-transition.html

I guess the API was changed since it was written.

Turns out this is not a real error. It's incorrectly reported by the Static Type Checker as an error and can be ignored. The code works fine.

@Jozef Vandenmooter  Great, finally you get the working code. :)

I tested on my side also code was working even after giving error.

Hi from the future
Use

requestMap = ActionContext.getRequest()?.getParameterMap()
def blockingIsSet =
requestMap?.get('issuelinks-linktype') == ['blocks'] &&
requestMap?.get('issuelinks-issues')?.size() > 0

instead

No need to import a bunch of unrelated stuff

To also add, you may use the following :

if (object.getIssueType().name.toString() != 'Bug')

Following are the full object you can utilize:

IssueConstantImpl[[GenericEntity:IssueType][sequence,null][name,Bug][iconurl,/secure/viewavatar?size=xsmall&avatarId=93577&avatarType=issuetype][description,null][style,null][id,31500][avatar,93577]]
