Email validation on a jira field

[Lakshmi S]

Hi Team,

Is there a way that you know of, to have a email validation on a jira field? For example , only accept an entry that has @ and .com or something?

We have script runner and JMWE addon.

Hi @Lakshmi S 

using JMWE, you can create a Scripted (Groovy) Validator with a script like:

issue.get("Email field") ==~ /^[\\w!#$%&’*+/=?`{|}~^-]+(?:\\.[\\w!#$%&’*+/=?`{|}~^-]+)*@(?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$/

Hi @David Fischer 

Did I miss anything here ? For example, if we could validate to only have a field for email "deef@fresample.com"

[David Fischer]

No, it's my fault. Try this instead:

issue.get("Email field") ==~ /^[\w!#$%&’*+\/=?`{|}~^-]+(?:\.[\w!#$%&’*+\/=?`{|}~^-]+)*@(?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,6}$/

Sorry about that. 

[Lakshmi S]

No Problem @David Fischer . Everything works as expected. Thank you so much!

Hi @David Fischer  

Is there a way to do this for custom fields on the edit screen in jira cloud??

[David Fischer]

Hi @Timothy Edoja 

the Edit screen doesn't trigger any transition in Jira, and therefore you cannot add any validation for data entered on the Edit screen (or while editing the issue directly).
