Validator to compare Employee ID from previous issues

[Sadath Ali Syed]

Team,

We have employee ID custom field in our project. We want each employee to have one ticket in the project. We want to have a validator to check the employee ID from all previous tickets/issues and display an error - "A ticket already exists with same employee ID". Could you please guide to create a validator that satisfies this requirement. We have JMWE and JSU plugins that we can make use of to create validators.

Hi @Sadath Ali Syed ,

you can use a "Related Issues Validator" from JMWE:

However, this assumes the "employee ID" custom field is a Number custom field. If it's a text field, you'll need to adjust the JQL expression to something like:

"employee ID" ~ "${issue.get("employee ID")}"

Thanks a million @David Fischer for providing solution.
