How to validate the spaces in the text filed

[niranjan]

Hello Community,

How can i do this one with script runner or any other way. 

Scenario:

I have text custom field "project" and it has string limit of 16 characters or less(Done with script runner behaviors). When the user enter the input with any spaces eg: "project name" then its should throw an error for the space in the text field.

The final input should be only once character not two. eg : "projectname".

Hi @niranjan ,

You can use this snippet : 

def textField = getFieldById("customfield_11000")
def textFieldValue = textField.getValue()
if (textFieldValue.contains(" ")){
textField.setError("this field can not contain spaces.")
}
else {
textField.clearError()
}

Hi @Antoine Berry  Thank you for the script. Should i use the behaviors to execute this script or any other option.

@Antoine Berry  It throwing an error.

You can save as is, the script since the getValue() method will return a string, you can use contains().

Yes behaviours is the right option, make sure you have updated the field id or use 

getFieldById(getFieldChanged())

instead.

Just adding to this, I used the script below to see if Summary field has spaces. (Summary is not a custom field and answer above was not working for me). Returns true/false for Simple Scripted Validator. Note the exclamation point in front.

!issue.summary.contains(" ")
