Trying to use ifwatch and JJupin SIL listener to test for field change on edit screen

[Craig Leigh]

Here is the issue.  I have four fields on a tab on a screen in JIRA.  If any one field is updated then all four must be updated.  To test for this I choose to use the SIL listener:  issue update event.  I then call this  checkEscalation.sil script:

lfWatch("customfield_14147", {"customfield_14147", "customfield_14148","customfield_14149", "customfield_14150"}, "hook.sil", {});

Which in turns calls the hook.sil script:

if(!(( isNull(customfield_14147)  && isNull(customfield_14148) && isNull(customfield_14149) && isNull(customfield_14150) ) || (isNotNull(customfield_14147)  && isNotNull(customfield_14148) && isNotNull(customfield_14149) && isNotNull(customfield_14150) ) ) ) {
  lfShowFieldMessage("customfield_14150", "All Escalation fields must be completed if any one is entered", "ERROR");
 }

I do not get the error message, but I do get this error in the log.

What I desire is a error message to display and prevent the update until either ALL fields are completed or NO fields are completed on that screen.  

Any help is appreciated

Hi Craig,

I would use livefields for this, i think its better to validate fields while your still on the screen.

Thanks Eric. That works to display the message based upon the all or nothing criteria for all four fields.
