I tried adding the below script but it is failing to recognize any of the provided field values in the create issue.

import com.opensymphony.workflow.WorkflowException

// Define allowed priorities for each issue type
def allowedPrioritiesMap = [
"Bug": ["Blocker", "Critical", "Major", "Minor"],
"Task": ["High", "Medium", "Low"]
]

def issueType = issue.getIssueType()?.name
def selectedPriority = issue.getPriority()?.name

if (!allowedPrioritiesMap.containsKey(issueType) || !allowedPrioritiesMap[issueType].contains(selectedPriority)) {
// If the selected priority is not allowed for the issue type, throw a WorkflowException.
throw new WorkflowException("Invalid priority selected for issue type '$issueType'. Allowed priorities are: ${allowedPrioritiesMap[issueType].join(', ')}")
} else {
log.info("Issue type: $issueType, Priority: $selectedPriority - Validation passed.")
}

How can i resolve the issue.

Please can you advise a solution.

Assuming you are creating a Custom Scripted Validator, you need throw InvalidInputException, as it says in the helptext and described here: https://docs.adaptavist.com/sr4js/latest/features/workflows/validators/custom-validators

With WorkflowException, it will not stop the issue from being created, but it will with InvalidInputException such as this:
