Script Validator for create transition to raise user defined error when fixvVersion is numeric

[smuppala]

Hi There,

             I have Created a Validator using Script Validator on Create transition to verify if the fixVersion has numeric values , block the cloning, sub-task creation since both are create events.  Logic is working fine. I want to display user defined error instead of system error. When I am cloning a bug that has numeric fixVersion value I am getting the following error. I need to overwrite this error. Need help of how to overwrite this.

*********************************************

Clone issue: AS-XXXXX

admin errors exception

com.atlassian.jira.exception.CreateException.Error occurred

while creating issue through workflow

*********************************************

My code snippet

def origFixVer = issue.getFixVersions()
String origFixVersion = origFixVer[0]

def m = origFixVersion =~ /^(\d+)/

if( m ){
    log.debug(String.format("User selected Numeric Versions for %s",issue.key))
    log.warn(s1)

    invalidInputException = new InvalidInputException("fixVersions", "Choose a better fix version")

}

You cannot override the System Validation error. Instead, your custom validation should work and throw Custom error message before the System Validator does. I have tried a similar validation for a custom field and the Custom exception is as follows.

invalidInputException = new InvalidInputException("Message")

This worked fine.
