/////////

import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.ISSUE_TYPE

getFieldById(ISSUE_TYPE).setError("Error Msg")

//

i trried getFieldChanged() also still no luck.

I have tried:

getFieldById("issuetype").setError("Error Message.")
getFieldById(getFieldChanged()).setError("Error Message.")

They both work. It might be a bug, you might want to upgrade your ScriptRunner.

@achal khawale Are you trying to set description for Issue Type field or when user select XXX issue type they get error message ?

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.*


def issuetype = getIssueContext().getIssueType().name


if (issuetype.contains("Bug")) {
getFieldById("issuetype")
.setDescription("<font size=\"2f\">This Issue type not in Use</font>")

}
else if (issuetype.contains("Android")) {
getFieldById("issuetype")
.setDescription("<font size=\"2f\"> Testing releated issues <font color=\"red\">Rush requests require Team Lead sign-off</font>")

Hi @achal khawale if you want to stop creating issue under issue type then hide the issue type from the list or remove from issue type scheme.
