Associate between 2 single custom select dropdowns

[Srinivaas]

Would like to know how to associate or setup between 2 single select dropdowns. Based on the first dropdown selection, second dropdown should display the related values.

By default this is available in JIRA while creating an issue.

If you select a project , it will display the issue types associated with it in issuetypes drop down.

This association and feature is not given to custom fields dropdowns.

Please do not suggest Cascading dropdown . It has different functionality.

Hi Srinivasa - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Outside of the Cascading field type, this is not available. 

[Srinivaas]

By default , Atlassian implemented.

You can try selecting a project and see the issue types loading in cascading dropdown associated with the project. You can try this in Create screen

[John Funk]

Issue Types are placed in an Issue Type Scheme. And then the scheme is associated with a project. When you create a new issue on a project, that's the list of Issue Types you are seeing. 

What exactly are you trying to do that you can't? 

[Srinivaas]

When I select a Country, I wanted to list the States based on the selected Country  in second dropdown where I need to achieve Parent Child relationship.   No Cascading model .

How to relate with 2 single dropdowns?

[John Funk]

You can't do that without the Cascading type field in Jira Cloud. 

[Srinivaas]

Cascading dropdown does not solve the purpose. If Atlassian can add a parent drop down property or child dropdown property, we can map the custom fields. It solves many things and avoid cascading also.

You might try the ScriptRunner Behaviours app - it's still in Beta, but it might solve your problem. There is no solution coming from Atlassian anytime soon as related to Custom fields.

I don't understand why cascading select lists do not solve the problem.  Your requirement is pretty much the specification for a cascading select list.

[Srinivaas]

1) it won't show the child dropdown until it will select a value in parent

2) We can't name the child dropdown.

When Atlassian implemented with Project and Issue types relation, why it is not possible for all other single dropdown fields.

I need same functionality as their Project and issuetype relation . You can see this in a screen popup when you click the CREATE button. First 2 fields in a screen are Project and issue type.

Like issue type field association, Custom fields also associated in same way
