Limit entry length on summary

[Guillaume Mackowiak]

Hello, 

I would like to avoid having a Summary field longer than 50 caracters.

Can this be achieved by a regex on automation rule?

Regards.

Guillaume.

Hi @Guillaume Mackowiak 

You can achieve this by following these steps:

1. Go to the workflow and add a validation on the "Create" transition.
2. Add a validation via "Script Runner".
3. Use the following script:

issue.summary.split(' ').length >= 1 && issue.summary.split(' ').length <= 10

(Modify the number of words as per your requirement).

4. Test the script and add it.
5. Define a custom error message to help users understand the error.

Hi @Guillaume Mackowiak ,

What you're looking for is a (workflow) validator since automation won't help you here.

That said, head over to the workflow of interest and add the default 'Regular Expression Check' validator to a transition - probably the 'Create' one?

Cheers
Thorsten

Hi @Guillaume Mackowiak  Try Regex validator it allow all charaters , limit should be 1-50:- 

^.{1,50}$

Explaination :- 

• . dot stands for all characters. Except \n for which you will have to use s DOTALL flag.
