Verify Assignee's Group in JMWE Validator

[Olive Sun]

Hi There, 

I know there's a way to verify the user's group in JMWE via the following expression:

user.groups.includes("group name")

However, I met the scenario that needs to verify the assignee's group. Any advice on the expression?

Thanks,

Olive

Hi @Olive Sun ,

you can do this:

issue.assignee && issue.assignee.groups.includes("group name")

It's important to first test whether issue.assignee is null, otherwise you'll get an error accessing its groups when it is.

Thanks, @David Fischer !That works perfectly.

Hi @David Fischer, would you mind also share the way to verify whether the assignee is in the specific project role or not?

Not sure if the following expression is correct.

issue.assignee && issue.assignee.getProjectRoles(issue.project).some(pr => pr.name == "Developers")

@Olive Sun it is (assuming you're looking for the Developers project role)

Hi @David Fischer , I tried that expression, it only works when I set with "==":

issue.assignee && issue.assignee.getProjectRoles(issue.project).some(pr => pr.name == "Developers")

If I set with "!=" as follows, it doesn't work and keeps return "True".

issue.assignee && issue.assignee.getProjectRoles(issue.project).some(pr => pr.name != "Developers")

 Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Olive

Hi @Olive Sun 

why would you use != ? You mean for a different requirement? What would be the requirement then?

Hi @David Fischer , for one transition, I want to make the condition as the user is in project Role A, and for the other transition, I want to make the condition opposite wat. This means the user is not in project Role A. 

That's why I want to use !=, any thoughts?

Hi @Olive Sun ,

that would be:

issue.assignee && !issue.assignee.getProjectRoles(issue.project).some(pr => pr.name == "Developers")
