In Scriptrunner validator, How can I check if a custom field is null, THEN if not, check for the val

[Cash Coyne]

I have this statement in a ScriptRunner validator for a workflow:

issue.customfield_11687.value != null && issue.customfield_11687.value=="Yes"

The problem is that if the value is null, it returns with an error:

Evaluation failed: "issue.customfield_11687.value" - Unrecognized property of `issue.customfield_11687`: "value" ('value'). Type null does not have any properties

Is there a way that I can check for a null value, and then if not null, check the actual value?

Hi Cash, 

I am assuming here that you are validating a select list field.

Instead of doing issue.customfield_11687.value != null you can just do issue.customfield_11687 != null to check if the field is empty.

The reason for this is the field will not have a value property set on it until it has a value entered into it.

I hope this helps.
