scriptrunner validation to check custom field starts with a partial word

[Sapir Monza]

Hi, I am trying to create a workflow transition validation

I need to check that custom field "Escalated case number" starts with a partial word, for example, "SER-" or "AT-".

I tried it with:

cfValues['Escalated case number'] ~ "SER-"

But it doesn't work. Someone know how can I make it?

Thanks

Hi,

You could use 

cfValues['Escalated case number'] ~ "SER-*"

Or write a custom groovy script since you are running script runner.

Thanks for your answer.

But when I tried this, I get the error:

Oh I see, you need to use a groovy script here. You can use this one,  just change the custom field id : 

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

//Jira User picker ID 
int caseNumberId = 10100
def cfCaseNumber = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(caseNumberId)
def cfCaseNumberValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfCaseNumber)

if (!cfCaseNumberValue.startsWith("SER-"){
invalidInputException = new InvalidInputException("The Escalated case number is not correct. It should start with SER-")
throw invalidInputException
}

I'm still getting some errors:

Do not worry about these warnings, since it is groovy it will evaluate on execution and work fine.

Just to clarify I'm adding this script as a validator on workflow transition

[Antoine Berry]

That is exactly what this script is aiming at. :)
