Behaviour to make a Multi-Select Field required based on another fields

[Ryan Bullock]

Hello,

I have been trying to set a Multi-Select field as required based on the value of another field. I can get it working for other fields, but struggling with Multi-select.

In this example, for non-multi-select: If 'Release Notes Status' = 'Include - Finalized', then 'Release Notes Title' is required. How do I tweak it for multi-select fields?

Script on 'Release Notes Status' field:

def ReleaseNotesStatus = getFieldById(fieldChanged)

def additionalInfo = getFieldByName("Release Notes Title")

def option = "Include - Finalized" // the option you want to check

def errorMsg = "Required" // the error message you want shown

if (ReleaseNotesStatus.value == option) {

if (!additionalInfo.value) {

additionalInfo.setError(errorMsg)

}

} else {

additionalInfo.clearError()

}

Script on 'Release Notes Title' field

def cf = getFieldByName("Release Notes Title")

if (cf.value) {

cf.clearError()

}

Hi @Ryan Bullock 

If you want to do this for a Multi-Select field, your if condition try something like this:-

def ReleaseNotesStatus = getFieldById(fieldChanged)
def releasetNotesStatusValue = ReleaseNotesStatus.value

def additionalInfo = getFieldByName('Release Notes Title') 
def additionalInfoValue = additionalInfo.value

additionalInfo.clearError()

if (releasetNotesStatusValue = ['Option1', 'Option2', Option3'] && !additionalInfoValue ) {

    additionalInfo.setError("Sample Error Message")

}

Hope this helps to solve your question. :-)

I am looking forward to your feedback.

Thank you and Kind regards,

I will mark this as accepted, as the script works. However, it is a bit buggy. Sometimes the field will be marked as required, sometimes it doesn't.
