Abstract

This code snippet checks the value of a standard or custom multi-valued type field (typically a multi-select field). The multi-valued fields can either be a collection of objects or a set of values.

Logic

Iterate over the array of objects or set of values and check a specific field for the required value.

Snippet 

For multi-select fields:

//Run a loop on all the selected options of the field and find the desired option
issue.get("<Name of the field>").any{
  it.getValue() == "<Value of the field>"}

Placeholders

<Name of the field>

For multi-versions/users/components/groups fields (e.g. Fix Version/s):

//Run a loop on all the selected options of the field and find for the desired object
issue.get("<Name of the field>").any {
  it.getName() == "<Name of the desired version>"}

Placeholders

For Labels field:

//Run a loop on all the selected labels of the field and find for the desired label
issue.get("<Name of the field>").any {
  it.getLabel() == "<Desired label>"}

Placeholders

Examples

The output of the code is a boolean value (true or false) which you could use to 

• Calculate and display a flag on the issue view screen if the issue has been flagged. For this, you will need to write a Groovy script to check that the issue has been Flagged and based on the result display a Flag using a Velocity template. See here for the use case.

  Code Block
  language groovy linenumbers true
  return issue.get("Flagged")

  
  

• Check the issue has 5.0.0 as an Affects Version/s

  Code Block
  language groovy linenumbers true
  issue.get("versions").any { it.getName() == "5.0.0"}
