How to access filed value from transition screen in validation

[Hersh Shafer]

Hi,

I'm trying to check that user fill linked issue in transition screen (with additional conditions on the linked issue, so I need script runner).

How can I access the linked issue it validation?

issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.id)

and

issueLinkManager.getInwardLinks(issue.id)

don't return it because it happen before the transition is finished.

Please help

Hi Henning,

I'm still using the code that you gave me in the answer mentioned above. Thanks again! As a follow-on, how did you find the actual field/parameter names to be used in the code? If I want to use a similar method for another field, how did you find the names issuelinks-linktype and issuelinks-issues? If I remember right, viewing the page source shows me the main issue browse page, and not the transition dialog source.

Robert

linktype = request.getParameter('issuelinks-linktype')
linkedIssue = request.getParameter('issuelinks-issues')
(linktype == 'duplicates' && linkedIssue)

It's really only links that you need to worry about. Other fields you get from the issue in the normal way. This is a jira bug/shortcoming imho, haven't got round to reporting it yet.

Robert Poldervaart,

you can enumerate all possible parameters by simple loop:

for (def entry : request.parameterMap) {
    log.info(entry.key + "=" + entry.value)
}

You can, and that's nice and simple (I gave you a "like") - but I wouldn't recommend getting parameters like this. The reason is you will need to do type conversion yourself - eg if the assignee, then from a string to a User object, if "affects versions", from a String[] of version IDs to a Collection of Version objects. I don't think it will take you to a happy place.
