Allowing transition based on value and only to certain group

Hi,

In a workflow, I want to do the following:

  • determine value of custom field (responsible department).
    • If value = DevOps: a transition needs to be restricted to a certain group.
    • If value = Projects: anyone can make the transition that has the correct role.

 

Its really simply to either place a condition on the value of a custom field, OR to put a restriction on the group that is allowed to transition, but combining them is giving me a hard time...

Anyone has an idea?

I've tried the simple ScriptRunner snippets, but I don't know how to control the transition in Groovy. The ScriptRunner documentation is not making me all the wiser on this point either :(

Hi @Sander Spoelstra 

You can create nested condition to build what you are looking for a bit like explain in this community question.

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Adding-multiple-conditions-to-Issue-transition-in-a-JIRA/qaq-p/847576

So you can add a block require all condition to be met for value = DevOps and Group = ...

Then add a new condition but only selecting "Any of the condition" with value = project.

@Florian Bonniec wow... I never new that it was a dropdown (completely missed the arrow down icon)!

You know how much I've scripted through the years that could have been solved with nesting?! 

It works like a charm, thank you so much for such a simple solution :)

Hello @Sander Spoelstra 

I'm encountering similar issues to what you've reported here, but I'm still unclear on the solution. In my case, I have a field named "Product" with options for "AM" and "PM". The requirement is that if the field value is "AM", only the "AM" group should be able to transition the issues. Similarly, if the product option is "PM", only the "PM" group should be able to move the issues to "Done".

Any help will be appreciated
