JIRA7 - Single Select Field -is it possible to display only part of the dB option values to the user

[Ramakrishnan Srinivasan]

Hi,

 I need some help in displaying only part of the option string to the user. Let's say I have a Single Select with options Test_CGMS 10.0, Test_CGMS 11.0. 

I understand these options have their unique IDs. So, in the GUI, is it possible for me only to display CGMS 10.0, CGMS 11.0 to the user. If possible, how do I do that, I am familiar with script runner, behavior setup so, direction also will help me here.

The need

• I am having a project picker field.
• Different projects have different versions. 
• So I created a custom single select and want to load all versions from all projects and using a behavior, restrict only to the selected project versions.
• Some projects have their project key as prefix and some do not/may not
• I thought, will load all versions to single select field with 'ProjectKey_xxxx' and strip out 'ProjectKey_' before displaying only xxxx to the user as options for them to select the version, that is if possible

Thank you in advance

with warm regards

No.  A select list presents a list of options that you allow to the users.

If you want to shorten the list by project, use different field contexts to present different lists.  See https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/configuring-a-custom-field-776636423.html
