How to restrict custom fields dropdown values based on issuetypes?

[Manoj]

Hi Community,

Greetings!

I have project in which i want to restrict the list of dropdown values appearing based on the selection of issue types. 

for example, i have issue types IRB1 and IRB2 and custom field called finance service and budget handler and both fields are interdependent. (with approx 10 drop down values)

So if users select IRB1 then they would get to see only the fields values under IRB1 only and samething for IRB2

but i have to bifurcate the finance service for IRB1 and IRB2 so that the people belongs to IRB1 issue type does not get to see the list of IRB2 issue type.

kindly suggest.

Thanks

Hi @Manoj 

You can try to create different Contexts for the custom field based on issue types. Meaning that you create a Context for one issue type and have a list of values for the field. Then create another Context for the same custom field but with a different issue type, then provide a separate list of values for that context.

Ah, it looks like this is not available in Server as it is for Cloud. Here is the request you should vote for and follow:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-66849

You might be able to do this with the ScriptRunner Behaviours add-on.

Hi @Manoj ,

This is not possible natively in Jira. Here is Feature request for this.

But it can still be done out of the box with help of Scripting plugins.

One of the workaround would be to use a cascading select field in which first drop-down have values IRB1 and IRB2 and based on the first selection you can have other values in cascading drop-down fields.

Thank,

@Aditya Verma Hi, do you know how this can be achieved in using script runner?

Hi @Manoj ,

You can get a good direction on groovy script by answer provided by @Kian Stack Mumo Systems here.

Do check this article as well.

Thanks,
