Wanted to add condition for validator

c-njain May 28, 2020

Hi Team,

Wanted to add If else condition for validator in JIRA workflow.

Below is the requirement.

 

Change type is one of the field.

If change type value= XYZ

  then attachment should be mandatory

Else

 attachment should not be mandatory.

Kindly please let me know how to achieve this.

If its possible with script runner, then kindly share the test script as well.

 

Regards,

Neeta Jain

Hi @c-njain 

Welcome to the community

 

As @Danyal Iqbal has already explained one solution is to have two different transitions to cover your scenario. As you are new to community I have taken the liberty of assuming that you may also be relatively new to Jira and Workflows so will provide a bit more information to help you. 

Transition 1. 

Condition  - change type value= XYZ

Validator - attachment is present

Transition Screen - must show the attachment field 

Transition 2. 

Condition  - change type value is not XYZ

Validator - none required

Transition Screen - may show the attachment field 

For simplicity I would use the same transition screen for each transition (it is less confusing this way)

As an end user I will only ever see one of the two transitions when viewing an issue as the two conditions are mutually exclusive. 

 

Hope this helps you solve your problem.

Hi,

If you have JMWE in your instance, you can use the "Field required validator (JMWE)" to implement this with a one-line conditional script (Jira expressions). Let me know if you have JMWE. I can help you with the configuration/scripting.

You should create two different transition for the two different use cases. One transition has a validator for attachments and the other has no validator for the attachment.

Writing a script to implement this is a bad idea.
