How to set a validator on create issue to force a certain type of priority based on a component?

[Shai Dahan]

I would like to force a reporter to select type of priority based on the component he have selected when he create the issue.

The condition should be:

If the selected Component/s is 'CS Internal', reporter must select Priority CS1, CS2 or CS3 (and not any other priority type)

Component/s and Priority are system field

Custom script validator with groovy script can help here.

Any advise will be appreciated.

Hi Shai,

You can do it using "Boolean validator with math, date-time or text-string terms" validator (provided by JIRA Workflow Toolbox) in transition "Create Issue" using the following configuration:

Boolean expression is:

%{00094} ~ "CS Internal" IMPLIES %{00017} in ["CS1", "CS2", "CS3"]

Note that:

• %{00094} is field code for field "Components"
• %{00017} is field code for field "Priority"

Once configured, transition "Create Issue" will look like this:
