How can I nest choices?

[Lauri Pantos]

Using proforma forms or the new JIRA forms, I need to set up 

Topics

• Topic A
• Topic B
• Topic C
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4

Hard to illustrate, but they would be checkboxes and then topic c would have sub choices.  Is there a way to do that?

Thanks!

@Ali Hamza -

What do you mean by "best answer"?  You also included a link to Tech builts.  Is Tech builts a third party add-on?

Best, Joseph

Currently, Proforma form doesn't support Cascade-select field (Jira/JSM).  See the enhancement request currently being tracked by Atlassian - https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSDCLOUD-10792

However, take a look at Proforma documentation on using conditional logic / automation rule to overcome this limitation (I am assume that you want to push the data captured in the Form back to the Jira/JSM issues and not just serve as an attachment to the issue)  In this example, you actually will create a custom field with data type of "cascaded-select-list" for your Jira/JSM project, then use the workaround below as suggested in the link below to push the data captured in the Form back to the custom "cascaded-select-list" field associated to the issue.

https://docs.thinktilt.com/proforma/jira-automation-cloud - Look for the seciton "Link Form Fields to a Cascading Field".

Hope this helps.
