When Date picker field modified make comment required

[Geethanjali S J]

Hi All,

We are using server and our requirement is when we change date picker field the comment field should be required.

Can anyone help with this.

Hi @Geethanjali S J ,

in order to make a field required based on other field value or change, you should use a behaviour ( https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/behaviours-overview.html ) provided by Script Runner Plugin (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/6820/scriptrunner-for-jira?tab=overview&hosting=server).

Hope this helps,

Fabio

Hi @Geethanjali S J ,

here requested code :

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import java.sql.Timestamp
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

Issue issue = getUnderlyingIssue();

def dateField = getFieldByName("HERE_YOUR_DATE_PICKER_FIELD_NAME");
def commentField = getFieldById("comment");

if(issue!=null){
   CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
   CustomField dateCustomField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("HERE_YOUR_DATE_PICKER_FIELD_NAME");
   Timestamp dateCustomFieldTimestamp = issue.getCustomFieldValue(dateCustomField)!=null?(Timestamp)issue.getCustomFieldValue(dateCustomField):null;
   String dateCustomFieldValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(dateCustomField)!=null? new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy").format(new Date(dateCustomFieldTimestamp.getTime())):"";
   String dateValue = dateField.value!=null?(dateField.value as Date).dateString:"";
   if(!dateValue.equalsIgnoreCase(dateCustomFieldValue)){
     commentField.setRequired(true);
   } else {
     commentField.setRequired(false);
   }
}

Ciao,

Fabio

Hi @Geethanjali S J ,

you should add this code in a behaviour and not in console script.

So, create a behaviour, add a mapping to the desired projects/issueTypes and put my code in the intializer (server side script)
