How to use "OR" condition in Script Post-Function Create a sub-task (Scriptrunner)

[Camille Lecerf]

Hi,

I would like to use a simple "OR" in the condition of the Script Post-Function Create a sub-task (Scriptrunner):

('Value1' in cfValues['CustomFieldName']*.value || 'Value2' in cfValues['CustomFieldName']*.value)

But it does not work...

This one works:   'Value1' in cfValues['CustomFieldName']*.value

I am using this Post-Function in a workflow on the Create transition.

Thank you for your Help !

Camille

Hi Camille!

What type is the CustomFieldName? Different custom field types return different values. For example, if CustomFieldName is a plain text field, using 'in' and '*.value' returns a list of strings and will only check if your value is in the list. 

For example: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"*.value returns :  

[T, h, e,  , q, u, i, c, k,  , b, r, o, w, n,  , f, o, x,  , j, u, m, p, s,  , o, v, e, r,  , t, h, e,  , l, a, z, y,  , d, o, g, .]

The way that you have the code typed, your 'CustomFieldName' will probably need to be a type like MultiSelect.

Hi Carmen !

The customfield is a Checkbox. Is there a solution for that type of field please ?

The code you published in the original query works with a Checkbox for me! If you can, post a screenshot of the actual code you have in the script. That way, I can try to recreate the error. If you can provide the execution history of the Post function, that could also be helpful as well.

I found my error. The correct syntax for my checkbox customfield was that one :

(cfValues['CustomFieldName']*.value.contains("Value1") || cfValues['CustomFieldName']*.value.contains("Value2"))

Thank you Carmen this was indeed a matter of customfield type !
