Groovy Logical OR

[JiraYo]

Hey guys, i am trying to evaluate whether a field "customer request type" is two values out of a possible 10. This is for sending an email using the JVME plugin under conditional execution.

On another site, the groovy OR command seems to be two pipes ( || ) but that does not seem to work:

return (issue.get("Customer Request Type").getName() == "General Cleaning" || "Event Cleaning")

That statement always returns TRUE, no matter the issue. Still returns true even if i put "fdsfdsf" instead of "general cleaning".

However the following does work correctly:

return (issue.get("Customer Request Type").getName() == "General Cleaning")

What is the correct way to evaluate the field and then return true if it meets "value 1" OR "value 2" but nothing else.

I looked through the groovy tutorial, but i am not a programmer... under logical operators it does appear that || is an or, but well i need help at this point.

I think you'll want something like this:

return (issue.get("Customer Request Type").getName() == "General Cleaning" || issue.get("Customer Request Type").getName() == "Event Cleaning")

When you just had the "|| "Event Cleaning", your condition was trying to resolve a string as a boolean value, which I believe just returns true because the string exists.
