Cannot get script runner Field behavior script to work

[Nannette Mori]

Jira Data Center Version 8.20.1

Script runner 6.46.0

I am using the behavior option in script runner to require/show a text field based on a value in a list field.  Using debug logging it works but never gets into the if statement.   I set the behavior on Affected Artifacts field as that is the list I am getting the value.  

Below is my code

def.af = getFieldByName("Affected Artifacts")

def afo = getFieldByName("Afftected Artifacts (Other) ")

afo.setHidden(true)

if (afVal == "Other) {

 afo.setHidden(False)

 afo.setRequired(true)

{

Hi @Nannette Mori  

Apply Behaviour on AF field and add below script, You are missing getValue in your script :- 

def af = getFieldByName("AF")
def afo= getFieldByName("AFO")

log.debug("dropdown value" + af.getValue())
if (af.getValue() == "Other") {
afo.setHidden(true)
}else {
afo.setHidden(false)
}

 Thanks

@Nannette Mori  Kindly share the complete script which you applied on af (select list field) behaviour. Might be some mistake in script.

I don't think it can execute the if statement.

You start it with "if (afVal ==", but your script does not define afVal, so the script has to evaluate the if as false.

I think you need to add a line like

def afVal = af.value

or change line 1 to 

def afVal = getFieldByName("Affected Artifacts").value

I apologize

I inadvertently left this out of my script example, I had this line before the If statement

def afVal = af.getValue().toString 

[Nannette Mori]

So I did define afval and it still doesn't work

Can you give us the whole script?
