Hi Felipe,

Thank you for your question.

I can confirm that it is not possible to dynamically restrict, hide or show fields or field options using ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud like you can do with ScriptRunner for Jira Server using the Behaviours module which the server version provides. You can see a full list of the differences between the two versions here.

This means that we are currently unable to provide the Behaviours functionality in JIRA cloud to dynamically restrict fields due to the fact that the API and functionality which Atlassian provide in JIRA Cloud is much more restricted than the API which they provide in JIRA Server.

If this response has answered your question can you please mark it as accepted so that other users searching for a similar question can see that this is a correct answer.

Regards,

Kristian

Hi, I use Behaviours to restrict the issue type creation for a role in the project. The problem is that in the Backlog you still can create all type of isses using the quick issue creation in the bottom.

There's a way to hide this quick creation or apply the behaviour to that funtion?

 

Thanks!

Hi @Kristian Walker _Adaptavist_ ,

 

May I know if the field option hiding feature is  available in Jira Cloud now.?

I want to hide options  for a select-list(single choice) field for Epic issue type using scriptrunner behaviour.

Hi @Donamol N C ,

Yes Behaiours is now available inside of Jira Cloud and you can see what fields and methods are supported inside the documentation page here as well as some example scripts for the cloud version here

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Kristian

Hi @Fellipe Guerra Rodrigues,

Have a look at the following suggestion: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-questions/Show-Hide-options-from-cascading-select-list/qaq-p/260685 because it seems the process should be fairly similar to what you want to achieve though you would need to change what appears every time the create operation is triggered.

The above requires the behaviors plugin provided by scriptrunner.
