Hiding custom fields based on assignee

[Deepti Hasija]

Hi,

I am trying to hide 4 fields ( project lead, design author, contributor and consultant) from the project based on assignee using  behaviors in JIRA

I added field under behavior as "Assignee"  as optional, writable and shown and then wrote this server-side script

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

def assignee = getFieldById("assignee")
def ProjectLead = getFieldById("customField_21153")
def DesignAuthor = getFieldById("customField_21154")
def Contributors = getFieldById("customField_21155")
def Consultants = getFieldById("customField_21156")

log.debug("Assignee " + assignee.getValue())

if (assignee.getValue() == "backlog-server-storage-engines") {
ProjectLead.setHidden(false);
DesignAuthor.setHidden(false);
Contributors.setHidden(false);
Consultants.setHidden(false);
}
else
{
ProjectLead.setHidden(true);
DesignAuthor.setHidden(true);
Contributors.setHidden(true);
Consultants.setHidden(true);
}

This is not working, can someone suggest what am i doing wrong? Thanks

I don't think it's your "set" code - https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/set-behaviour-hidden is the example I start from when wanting to hide fields

I suspect it's the "if" - I don't think the assignee value == "your string" - assignee should really be giving you a user, not a string.

Hi Nic,

Thanks for replying.

How can i check the assignee value in behaviors then if not using ==?

Another thing is, i want this behaviour to check for assignee value in real-time  during issue create i.e hide the 4 fields if the assignee is changes from unassigned to "backlog-server-storage-engines" . I am not sure if this will work via behaviour or i need to add a post function?

By the way, is this really for Cloud? I thought Behaviours was available just on Server/DC instances.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Good point, it can't be for Cloud, Cloud doesn't support Behaviours yet.  I've removed the misleading tags.
