[Ganesh Choubey D]

Hello Community,

Ex: getFieldById("Parent").isRequired()

Thanks & Regards,

Hi @Ganesh Choubey D 

Do you want the Field "Parent Link" to be required?

You could use ->  getFieldByName('Parent Link') 
Be aware, that if you are working with translations, you'll have to check for any translated value as well.

You could also check the ID of the field in the Administration. Go to Issues > Custom fields -> find the field "Parent Link" > click on "..." > View field information -> Check the last part of the URL
It should look something like: https://your-site.atlassian.net/secure/admin/ConfigureCustomField!default.jspa?customFieldId=10018

Hi @Rebekka Heilmann _viadee_ 

Thank you for the quick response as the "Parent Link" is no longer used and "Parent" field is used as the merging of "Epic Link" and "Parent Link"

Ref Article: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-articles/Introducing-the-new-Parent-field-in-company-managed-projects/ba-p/2377758

is there any way i can use the parent Field itself for my scripts.

Thanks & Regards,

Ganesh

All fields work the same way when it comes to that part of Scriptrunner. Just pick the field by ID or name like I described above.

@Ganesh Choubey D , as Rebekka has mentioned, you can use the getFieldbyName for system fields. It is likely just "Parent"

For the other Custom Field ID's, you can use this and it will give you a text vomit of your custom fields and ID's. Not very pretty.
