"Validation based on JQL query" bug

[Andrey Kiyanovsky]

Hi Fidel,

I can't type anything here.

JIRA 7.1.1 JWT 2.2.1, 2.2.36

Hi @kiyanovsky,

The boolean expression field is only available for the 3rd condition type: "number of issues returned by the JQL query...".

Current UI design might be a bit confusing. I will try to improve it in a future version.

Got it, thank you for the prompt reply.

I have a simple task. I need to have the following validation: if issuetype in standardissuetypes() then EpicLink should not be empty.

Could you please provide a bit of advice here?

Hi Anrey,

Try using "Boolean validator with math, date-time or text-string terms" with the following boolean expression:

%{00041} = null IMPLIES %{nnnnn} != null

replacing nnnnn with field code for Epic Link custom field.

Note that %{00041} is field code for Parent's issue key. This field will be null in standard issues (i.e., non sub-tasks).

Thank you, but what if I create an Epic?

[Fidel Castro Armario]

Epics are the only issue types with Epic Name custom field set. You can check it with %{nnnnn} != null replacing nnnnn with field code for Epic Name.

I'm not sure if it answers your question.

Thank you, Fidel!
