Step 2 - Write the script in the editor

  1. Write the following script in the editor.

    Code Block
    languagegroovy
    linenumberstrue
    if(issue.get("priority").getName() == "Critical" || issue.get("priority").getName() == "Highest"){
      return true
    }
    else{
      return false
    }


  2. Your script will look like this:

Step 3 - Test your script

Step 4 - Simplify your script

You can simplify the script removing the if-else and returning the result of the comparisioncomparison, a Groovy truthy or falsy

  1. Go the editor
  2. Replace the script to:

    Code Block
    languagegroovy
    linenumberstrue
    issue.get("priority").getName() == "Critical" || issue.get("priority").getName() == "Highest"


Step 5 - Retest your script

  1. Click on Test again.
  2. The following result will be displayed. 
  3. Image Modified

Step 4 - Save the configuration

...

Step 5 - Test it on an issue

  1. Go to the issue GIJ-5
  2. Check that the transition Start Progress is not available for a trigger on the issue GIJ-5.
  3. Click on Assign to me, to assign it to JCarter.
  4. Check that the transition Start Progress is now available for a trigger on the issue GIJ-5.
