JMWE Validator Admin and Dev only Create IssueType

[Jurica Petricevic]

Is there a way to allow only two groups, say admin and devoloper, to opening one Issue Type? it would be desirable without Script Runner but with JMWE.

Sure. You can create a Scripted (Groovy) Validator with a script like:

issue.get("issuetype").name != "Bug" || currentUser.isInGroup("devs") || currentUser.isInGroup("admin") 

Of course you'll need to adapt the code to the exact issue type and groups.

issue.get("issuetype").name != "Change intern" || currentUser.isInGroup("Developers") || currentUser.isInGroup("Administrators")

No, won't work. For some reason I get this message

Did you first "test" the Groovy script using the Test Groovy Script button on the Validator configuration page?

You can also check your Jira logs for a detailed error.

I was just in too much of a hurry. I didn’t save before the test. Great job.
