If linked issue then dont execute script on workflow

[Rob B]

We have a script that executes on the create transition of our workflow. This basically makes the user add a custom field. The problem we have is when they create this issue via the 'create linked issue' button the custom field is not on that screen hence they cannot create the case.

I know the linked issue screen cannot be changed, so is there a condition i can add to the script to stop it executing if the issue is created via the 'create linked issue'?

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.opensymphony.workflow.InvalidInputException

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
def CustomFieldValue1 = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Retailer ID"));

if(CustomFieldValue1 == null) {
 def CustomFieldValue2 = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Retailer ID List"));
 
 if(CustomFieldValue2 == null){
 invalidInputException = new InvalidInputException("Retailer ID Mandatory")
 }
 }

You can hide the button using ScriptRunner web fragments: Hide system or plugin UI element

Hide the 'create linked issue' button?

[Alexey Matveev]

Yes. You can write a condition for which project and issue types to hide

Thats an option to have i guess. Cheers Alexey!
