How to make a field read only based on another custom field value

[Liat Yanco]

Hi,

how can I make a field read-only based on another custom field value?

For example, I have 2 custom fields: "reviewed" and "effort".

I want the following:

when "reviewed" is empty, "effort" field is editable

when "reviewed" is non-empty, the "effort" field is a read-only field.

I believe it can be done by using behaviors but not sure how :(

thanks!

Hi @Liat Yanco 

Please check https://library.adaptavist.com/ There you can find a lot of examples and scripts ready to use.

I think this script will be helpfull :) https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/set-behaviour-read-only

Thanks for this @Sebastian Krzewiński !

but I want to base the read-only option with a condition - that another custom field is empty or non-empty:

when "reviewed" is empty, "effort" field is editable

when "reviewed" is non-empty, the "effort" field is a read-only field

in the example you attached, it is to make the field read-only with no condition.

any other idea? :)

You can check other scripts and figure out how to do this :)

I didn't test it but please check this code:

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours

def effortField = getFieldByName("Effort_Name")
def reviewedField = getFieldByName("Reviewed Name")

if (effortField.getValue()) {
reviewedField.setReadOnly(true)
}

I tried the above and i'm getting the below error:

"Parsing XML failed: Content is not allowed in prolog."

Where you got this error?

[Liat Yanco]

here in the 'behavior':

I copied your suggestion and got the error: "Parsing XML failed: Content is not allowed in prolog."

I'm working on Jira server V6.4.

Jira administration --> add-ons --> Behaviours --> created a new Behaviours --> click Edit in the line of the new behavior that was just created

Based on https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/4.3.19/jira/behaviours-overview.html try to add code above in inline script section.

OK, so you were right.

it is working!!

thank you so much for your help and support :)

Hi @Sebastian Krzewiński ,

It seems like this doesn't work well at scriptrunner ver 6.0.2-p5

JIRA ver 8.7.1

Kindly,

Gilad
