Make Epic Link a required field

[Edward Greathouse]

Hi,

I'm trying to make Epic Link a required fields for all issue types except Epics. Here is what I have

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import org.apache.log4j.Level
import org.apache.log4j.Logger


def myLog = Logger.getLogger("com.onresolve.jira.groovy")
myLog.setLevel(Level.DEBUG)
 
// Get a reference to the Epic Link Field 
CustomField epicLink = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName('Epic Link')
def epicIssue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(epicLink) as Issue
def issueType = issue.getIssueType().getName()
myLog.debug("Issue type is " + issueType)
myLog.debug("Epic link is " + epicIssue)
// If the Epic issue is not an epic, then check if the epic link is set
if(issueType != 'Epic')
{
 if(epicLink != null) {
 myLog.debug("Epic Link is not set")
 }
 else {
 return true
 }
}
else {
 return true
}

However, I am returned with the following even when I set the Epic Link field:

2018-08-30 15:53:16,320 DEBUG [jira.groovy]: Issue type is Bug
2018-08-30 15:53:16,320 DEBUG [jira.groovy]: Epic link is JIRA-35
2018-08-30 15:53:16,320 DEBUG [jira.groovy]: Epic Link is not set

 
Any ideas?

Thanks!

Could you please try to remove (!) from

if (epiclink !=null)

as this will always give you “not set” if the link exist
