ScriptRunner Workflow Validators to check component is set to specific value

[Rees, Ian]

I am trying to create a Scriptrunner Validator to prevent the transition of an issue if the component field does not have the value "Red" or "Blue".

I can check that there is at least one component using

issue.components.length > 0 but I can't get a check on the name correct

I've tried lots of different syntax around checking i

issue.components.includes("Red")

but I can't seem to get this right. Can anybody help please ?

Hi @Rees, Ian

To answer your question, let me introduce the Ultimate Validator — a feature we developed as part of the Workflow Building Blocks for Jira app. It was designed to simplify working with Jira Expressions.

The built-in Jira Expression Preview helps you understand how each expression is constructed.
Since you're already using an app that supports Jira Expression-based validators, you can simply copy the generated expression and use it in the tool of your choice.

Here is how it looks:

I hope it will help,

Hi @Rees, Ian 

did you try to log the result of issue.components?

I could imagine that the result is an object and the attribute is ‚name‘. 

So I would suggest the following steps:

• log „issue.components“
• log „issue.components.name“
• if „issue.components.name“ returns a String or an array/list of strings .cotains or .includes should do the job

Please let us know if this helps.

Best
Stefan
