Restrict Label system field

[Emil Naghiyev]

In Project A - switching status to "Send To the Team" displays screen where user choses Project B and Label (system field) I need to do that if they choose labels beside B1, B2, and B3, Jira will not let them to submit the screen.

I picked transition to Send To the Team and added validator with Custom ScriptRunner. But seems it does not have affection. Jira shows that script works, but there is logic error somewhere. Maybe someone has successfully implemented this kind of validation?

Thank you in advance!

Here my script:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.label.Label

import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue

// Get the current issue

def issue = issue as MutableIssue

def labelManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponentOfType(com.atlassian.jira.issue.label.LabelManager)

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()

def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

// Get all labels on the issue

def labelSet = labelManager.getLabels(issue.getId())

def labels = labelSet.collect { it.getLabel() }

// Required labels

def requiredLabels = ["B1", "B2", "B3"]

// Check if any required label is present

def hasRequiredLabel = false

for (String label : labels) {

    if (requiredLabels.contains(label)) {

        hasRequiredLabel = true

        break

    }

}

// If none of the required labels are present, revert the transition

if (!hasRequiredLabel) {

    // Get the original status ID (the status before this transition)

    def originalStatusId = issue.getStatusId()

    // Create a comment to explain why the transition was reverted

    def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager()

    commentManager.create(issue, user, "This issue was automatically moved back to its previous status because at least one of these labels must be present: B1, B2, or B3", false)

    // Move the issue back to previous status

    def previousStatus = ComponentAccessor.getConstantsManager().getStatus(originalStatusId)

    issue.setStatus(previousStatus)

    issueManager.updateIssue(user, issue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false)

}

Could you not use the 'Components' field instead of Label? Components are much easier to control and restrict project by project. You can set the project settings to allow only certain Components. And users cannot create new ones on the fly. Components are a bit like an adult version whereas Labels are like kindergarten.

Or you could provide a custom field like a dropdown list with only the allowed values, and then have a rule or scipt copy the contents into the Label field.
