Using Component(s) with the Value Field workflow condition

[Jason Huntowski]

I am trying to set a workflow condition where the transition is only available if the issue has a specific value in the Component(s) field. When I use the "Value Field" condition, I have tried getting this condition to work by using both the string match for the Name and the Option ID match. I can't seem to get either to work. Is there any operators or anything that may need to be added to the "Option ID" for it to register? I know Component(s) is a functional multi-select list field, so there may be additional nuances to get this to work? I am trying to avoid buying add-ons to do some basic workflow transition stuff. I am also newer to cloud, but a veteran server user. 

Thanks in advance!

Hello Jason,

It seems that you are facing a bug on JIRA application. I have reported it as a bug with our development team so they can work on a fix:

Transition cannot be done due to a Value Field condition in Components

For now, you can use the ScriptRunner plugin to work around this bug, as provided in the answer below:

We are sorry for the inconvenience of this bug, Jason.

Please, let me know if we can help you with anything else.

Petterson,

Thanks for the response! I thought I was going crazy...lol. I will await the fix. We were trying to avoid spending on Scriptrunner, but we have some other process needs to address, so we may end up purchasing it anyway. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for logging the bug!
