custom fields validation

[srinivasp]

Some custom fields are configured and they are in production now. So while creating an issue, if a user enters a value in one custom field, i want to prompt him to fill another custom field on click of create button if he doesn't enter any value to the second custom field. What are the possible ways to handle this requirement and which is the easiest way?

Hi Srinivas ,

There might be many better ways to do this , but according to me the easiest way would be to create a groovy script validator(requires script runner plugin) which checks the 2 customfield if there is a value in first customfield and not in the second, then an error message which will prompt to fill the second customfield. And add this validator on the create step/transition.
