How validate if summary exist in project when work item is created?

[Angel]

Hi!

Is possible validate if the summary that user in creation exist in the project?

We need that all issues created in a project have different summary

We have Jira-Cloud and scriptrunner.

Thanks

Hello @Angel 

As @Kristian Walker _Adaptavist_ indicated you could not do this within the workflow and block the creation of the issue if the Summary was not unique.

You could create an Automation Rule triggered by Work Item Created, and in that rule execute a Lookup Issues action to see if another issue exists with the same Summary. You could then send an alert to somebody to address that, or automatically append some text (like the current date and time) to make the summary unique.

Hi Angel,

It is not possible to search with workflow validators to search for all other issues in the project to validate if any other issues exist, which means this requirement would not be possible to achieve within Jira Cloud.
