Get status of epic while creating story using groovy script via epic link

[Abyakta Lenka]

While creating story we put ticket number in EPIC LINK .

I am trying to get the status of epic while creating a story using epic link .

While creating story we put ticket number in EPIC LINK .

if the status of the epic is done then don't allow to create story 

Till now this is what i have done :

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.opensymphony.workflow.InvalidInputException
import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level

def issue = issue as Issue
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def epicLinkCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Epic Link")
def epicLink = issue.getCustomFieldValue(epicLinkCf) as Issue
def st = epicLink.status
log.info("status :"+st)
if (st == 'Done')
{
invalidInputException = new InvalidInputException("Epic is completed please provide Epic which is not Complted")
}

for some reason its not working in the validator .

Try this:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.opensymphony.workflow.InvalidInputException
import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level

def issue = issue as Issue

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def epicLinkCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Epic Link")
String epicLink = issue.getCustomFieldValue(epicLinkCf)

def epicIssue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject(epicLink)
String st = epicIssue.getStatus().name
if (st == 'Done')
{
invalidInputException = new InvalidInputException("Epic is completed please provide Epic which is not Complted")
}

Or use your original script and replace the st line to:

String st = epicLink.status["name"]

epicLink.status gives you a status, not a string.

Try

def st = epicLink.getStatus().getName()

instead

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-This is what i am getting when i am trying 

def st = epicLink.getStatus().getName()
