Best way to compare select list values using the JMWE App using a validator

[Daniel Burris]

Hello,

I'm trying to find out the easiest way to create a validator that will compare the values of two select lists, single choice to ensure they don't have the same value.

I'd think something like this would work, but it doesnt work the way I'd expect it to.  I'm using JMWE for this.

issue.customfield_10619.value != issue.customfield_10620.value

Hi @Daniel Burris ,

in what way does it not behave as expected?

I can see a problem in the script, if any of the two fields has no value, but is there a problem beyond that?

Try this:

issue.customfield_10619 == null && issue.customfield_10620 != null
|| issue.customfield_10619 != null && issue.customfield_10620 == null
|| issue.customfield_10619 != null && issue.customfield_10620 != null && issue.customfield_10619.value != issue.customfield_10620.value

This seemed to work. Thanks!

would any changes be needed if both fields were multi-select?

Absolutely. The first question would be: would you want to check whether the two fields are identical, or whether the two fields share at least one value?
