I have two attributes, an attribute of type "enumeration"  and an attribute of type "Date". I need to make sure that the Date attribute is not set to any value if a specific value of the enumeration is picked up.

For that purpose I did the following:
- I created a validation script to return an ERROR and display a message.
- I configured the Date attribute by setting the validation script for it and setting the enumeration attribute as a dependency.
- I add Attribute Validation as a precondition.

In my test, I can see that the error icon is showing up and the message is displayed. However, the workitem can be saved normally.

I went through many questions on the forum, and followed some advice, by for example, removing the scripts that I don't need, but I still have the same issue.

I'm working on RTC v6.1 and below is the script:
dojo.provide("com.example.FinancialBenefitStartDateValidator");
dojo.require("com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.Severity");
dojo.require("com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.Status");
dojo.require("com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.WorkItemAttributes");

dojo.require("dojo.date");
dojo.require("dojo.date.stamp");

(function() {

    var Severity = com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.Severity;
    var Status = com.ibm.team.workitem.api.common.Status;

    dojo.declare("com.example.FinancialBenefitStartDateValidator", null, {
    validate: function(attributeId, workItem, configuration) {
    var attrValue = dojo.date.stamp.fromISOString(workItem.getValue("BenefitsStartDate"));  // this is the date value
var financialBenefitType = workItem.getLabel("BenefitType");  // this is the enumeration value
var message = 'This attribute should be set only when "Financial Benefit Type" is set to any value other than the default "No Financial Benefit"';
   
if (financialBenefitType == "No Financial Benefit" && attrValue) {
return new Status(Severity["ERROR"], message);
}  else {
return Status.OK_STATUS;
}
    }
});
})();
