subtasks fields need to block parent transition

[Scott Federman]

using scriptrunner, could someone share with me how i would create a validator where i have three custom fields in a subtask (unit price, quote number, part number) that must be filled out in order to transition the parent? And if not will return a message that says " unit price, quote number, part number on each line item must be entered to proceed"

This should do the trick

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.opensymphony.workflow.InvalidInputException;

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
def unit_price = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName('Unit Price');
def quote_number = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName('Quote number');
def part_number = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName('Part Number');

def subTasks = issue.getSubTaskObjects();
if(subTasks) {
subTasks = (Collection<Issue>)subTasks;
for(Issue subTask : subTasks) {
 if(!(subTask.getCustomFieldValue(unit_price) && subTask.getCustomFieldValue(quote_number) && subTask.getCustomFieldValue(part_number))) {
 throw new InvalidInputException("Unit price, part number, and quote number are required on subtasks")
 }
}
}

Thank you Tarun. It worked as long as those fields were filled out on one of the sub-tasks. However, i need to ensure it validates those fields are inputted on all subtasks.

Did you put proper custom field name in the above code?

Like in

customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("here you have to enter the exact name of the custom field"

[Scott Federman]

it looked like a case sensitive issue. thank you so much for that.

[Scott Federman]

do you have time for one more? its a bit more complex. :)

Hi @Scott Federman, sure tell me, but I would suggest to create another question and share the link here as it's always better not to mix two questions.
