Prevent workflow transition with groovy script condition

[Laurel Moczydlowski]

I'm trying to prevent a transition if a custom date field "Date for Removal" is not in the future. However everytime I do I get an error that says it can't find the custom field. I'm relatively new to Groovy so this is what I have thus far, any idea what I'm missing?

issue.getDateforRemoval < getDate()

You have to use the correct APIs, try this

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import java.util.Date;

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
def dateForRemoval= customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName('Date for Removal'); 
def removalDateValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(dateForRemoval) as Date

Thanks!  @Tarun Sapra

So to allow the transition if the date value is not the future it would be

Date <= getDate()

Or am I completely botching that?

[Tarun Sapra]

No it would be 

Date now = new Date()

and then

removalDateValue > now

If removalDateValue is in future.

Hi @Laurel Moczydlowski,

Can you share the complete script that is you using?

Cheers,
