Check user field while editing an issue

[Andreas Lorz]

Hi,

got an user picker field. When the issue is editing I want to check that the user in a certain user picker field is not the same as the logged in user (the person who is currently editing the issue).

Thought this would be easy with ScriptRunner Behaviours but somehow its not working.

It doesn't recognize the condition when editing from a valid user to my user.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Andreas Lorz ,

It seems indeed to trigger only when you save the field value, so it will not dynamically display the error. Instead you could just use a script without condition on this field : 

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

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours

def responsibleForReal = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())
def responsibleForRealValue = responsibleForReal.getValue()

def currUser =  ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
String currUserKey = currUser.getKey()

if (currUserKey == responsibleForRealValue){
   responsibleForReal.setError("Please select someone else as the responsible for realization")
}
else {
   responsibleForReal.clearError()
}

This works. Thanks @Antoine Berry

The "condition" is used to define where one of the three attributes above (Optional, Writable, Shown). 

While the server-side script is where you would put more complex conditions and actions such as what was suggested by Antoine.
