Behaviour - Limit options on multi-select field (Elements Connect (nFeed))

[Ricardo Cardoso D' Oliveira]

Hello guys!

I am using a Behavior for a Multi-select custom field from Elements Connects (nFeed) so that, in some projects, it is possible to select only one option from the various ones available.

Behavior works perfectly on the editing screens, however, I was unable to make it work on the issue creation screen.

Here is the code:

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript
import groovy.json.*

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours

def projectKey = underlyingIssue.getProjectObject().key
def cfSigla = getFieldById("customfield_10301")
def cfSiglaValue = cfSigla.getValue().toString()
def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurper()
def object = jsonSlurper.parseText(cfSiglaValue)

assert object instanceof Map
assert object.inputValues instanceof List

if(projectKey != 'SPAC'){
   if(object.inputValues.size() > 1){
      cfSigla.setError("error message.")
}else if (object.inputValues.size() <= 1){
   cfSigla.clearError()
}
}

Hi Ricardo,

To answer your question, this is the expected behaviour.

In your code, you are acquiring the projectKey by using the underlyingIssue.  The underlyingIssue is only accessible after the issue is created. Hence, it will not work on the Create screen.

To invoke the Behaviour for both the Create and Edit screen, you could try something like this:-

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def projectManager = ComponentAccessor.projectManager
def projectObjects = projectManager.projectObjects

projectObjects.find {
    if(it.key != "SQ") {

        if(underlyingIssue == null) { // Invoked during the Create screen

            log.warn "====>>> Project Invoked During Creation ${it.key}"

        } else { // Invoked during Edit screen

            log.warn "===>>>> Project Invoked During Editing ${it.key}"
        }
    }
}

Please note this sample code is not 100% exact to your environment. Hence you will need to make the required modifications.

In this example, instead of using the underlyingIssue, I am using the ProjectManager's projectObjects to find the project key.

I hope this helps to solve your question :)

Thank you and Kind Regards,

Ram

Hi Ram!

Thanks for your reply!

I tried to implement your suggestion on my code, but, still not working during Create Screen 

Here is my new code:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript
import groovy.json.*

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours

def projectManager = ComponentAccessor.projectManager
def projectObjects = projectManager.projectObjects
def cfSigla = getFieldById("customfield_10301")
def cfSiglaValue = cfSigla.getValue().toString()
def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurper()
def object = jsonSlurper.parseText(cfSiglaValue)

assert object instanceof Map
assert object.inputValues instanceof List

projectObjects.find {
if(it.key != "SPAC") {

if(underlyingIssue == null) { // Invoked during the Create screen
   if(object.inputValues.size() > 1){
       cfSigla.setError("error message.")
   }else if (object.inputValues.size() <= 1){
      cfSigla.clearError()
   }

} else { // Invoked during Edit screen
   if(object.inputValues.size() > 1){
      cfSigla.setError("error message.")
   }else if (object.inputValues.size() <= 1){
      cfSigla.clearError()
   }
  }
 }
}

Hi Ram,

I solved the problem with this line:

def projectKey = issueContext.getProjectObject().getKey()

Thanks for the help!
