Can a cascading fields start from its lowest level?

[Zaldy Parian]

Hi all,

I got a requirements for cascading fields with 3 levels: 

Functional area -> Category -> Sub-category

Sub-category value list is mapped to Category value list. And Category value list is mapped to Functinal area.

My question is if a user selects a value in Sub-category field, can the Category and Functional area fields by populated automatically based on the mapping?

Thanks,

Zaldy

Hi @Marc - Devoteam,

The Custome Field Suite looks good. I'll keep it in my backpocket for my next build.

For my current solution, I used the out of the box cascading field of Jira for the 2nd & 3rd levels and for the first level, I created an automation to update it on field change trigger to assign the value.

Thanks for your recommendation.

Cheers,

I just tested this. I'm afraid the answer to my own question is a "No".

And the cascading field of Jira only capable of having 2 levels.

I guess I have to find a way to customise the field behaviour.
