ScriptRunner behaviour write a script to hide field

[Diana Scalzo]

I'd like to hide a field based on another field's value. if summary's value contains 'XYZ', then hide, otherwise not hide. I'm not sure how to express field contains xxx keywords in script and my script now is like below.

However, even if summary equals exactly XYZ, this code still doesn't work when I edit the issue. Anyone can give a hint or revise for this?

def customField = getFieldByName("custom1")

def hidefield = getFieldByName("Summary")

customField.setHidden(false)

// check to see which screen you are on

if ( hidefield == "XYZ") {

    // hide field during issue creation

    customField.setHidden(true)

}

You're declaring the 'hidefield' via getFieldByName("xx"), which returns you the field - and then you are trying to do an equals comparison on it, by string, i.e. field == "XYZ". So those are 2 different object types.

See the API documentation on how to get the value from the field:

 # https://docs.adaptavist.com/sr4js/7.0.0/features/behaviours/api-quick-reference?utm_source=product-help

Which should be hidefield.getValue() and as that is Summary, that should return String, in which case equals/== will work, or you can use .contains("XYZ").
