Adding multiple conditions to Issue transition in a JIRA workflow - RESOLVED

[Prashant Deshmukh]

Hi,

  I am trying to enforce some conditions for transitioning a JIRA issue in a workflow.

I have following transition steps in a Workflow named BugWorkflow

1. Open

2. In Progress

3. In QA

4. UAT

5. Close

I have several fields in my Bug Issue scheme. I want to check conditions on following non-mandatory custom fields a) SVN version b) Front End Code Reviewed c) Back End Code Reviewed

Here is what I want to do, When someone tries to transition a JIRA issue from UAT -> Close

I want to check

If SVN version field is empty - >Close the issue

Else check 

If ( Front End Code REviewed is Empty OR BackEnd Code Reviewed) ->Close the issue

I know that I can add single condition but this is a bit complex. If you have any solution, please let me know

Thanks 

Prashant

You can use value field condition and add any level of grouped conditions.

Hi @Sreenivasaraju P, 

Thanks. Sorry for the late reply, I have tried your solution but its not working for me yet. I wanted to compare both NULL and not null condition at the root level. 

If I can write some psudo code, I Here is what I am trying 

If( SVN == NULL)

{

  IF (Back End Code Reviewed == NULL OR Front End Code Reviewed == NULL)

   {

        Close JIRA issue

   }

}

ELSE IF (SVN !=NULL)

{

  IF (Back End Code Reviewed != NULL OR Front End Code Reviewed != NULL)

   {

        Close JIRA issue

   }

}

I am not able to put the second condition somehow.

 This image help you understand better.  Appreciate your help in this regard.

Thanks

I could change this a bit but still not able to achieve the expected outcome. Here is how it looks now. I guess the external nesting (pointed by red arrow) is causing the problem. Do you see any solution?

Thanks

I suspect it's because your nesting is not doing anything. 

At the top level, you have two condition groups joined.

The first group says "The field fixed in svn version # ... equal to null".  The second says "The field fixed in svn version # ... not equal to null".  As the join is "any", then you are going to find that every issue matches the joined condition.

Thanks, Nic.

I am not able to put IF and ELSE IF condition here.

All I care is, 

IF SVN# is null then at least one of BackEnd code reviewed and FrontEnd Code reviewed fields should be blank

ELSE IF SVN# is not blank then

At least one of BackEnd Code Reviewed and FrontEnd Code Reviewed fields should not be blank

Let's say, if I put only one outer condition, SVN# is blank, then it is always going to make sure that the condition is true. I am not able to achieve IF ELSE IF condition here :)

Please suggest.

Regards,

Prashant

If/then are another way to express the logic, they don't do much different.

A set of conditions should lead you to a simple boolean true or false.  You can express them as if/then, or as and/or statements or a mix when you're coding, but for conditions in Jira transitions, you have to use and/or.

Look at the second layers of nesting in your conditions - they should be "and", not "or"

Thanks, Nic,

I will try and let you know

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- It worked :)

I have changed the conditions and now I am getting the expected result. Here is what I have changed based on your reply.

I thank you both @Sreenivasaraju P and @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- for the help.

Next: I want to display the error notifications to the user when the conditions do not allow to close the issue.
