ScriptRunner Validator that checks Parent Issue Status

[Tom Yan]

I would like to add a Validator on the Create transition of a Story that prevents the user from creating the Issue if A) the Parent field is empty, or B) if the Parent Issue status is "Done". 

I have tried this ScriptRunner script, but it is not being triggered, and the validation automatically returns false:

if (issue.parent != null) { 

return issue.parent.status.name != 'Done'; 

} else { 

return false;

}

Any tips would be appreciated!

Thank you

Hi @Tom Yan ,

please try the following code :

if(issue.getParentObject()!=null) {

return "Done".equalsIgnoreCase(issue.getParentObject().getStatus().getName());

} else

return false;

Hope this helps,

Fabio

I am still receiving this error message when the Validator is triggered with the above code:
