Is there a way to restrict Jira field "Component/s" chosen values?

[Jason Liu]

We have a lot of components and they are in different forms. We have a kind of issue type for example Story, I need it can only choose some of the components, not all of them. Is that possible? For example, project components are 1,2,3,4,5 and Story can only choose 1 and 2.

Heya @Jason Liu

So one method that I'm aware of is utilising this script runner code here:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRoleManager
import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.COMPONENTS

def projectRoleManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent ProjectRoleManager.class
def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser

def targetRoleName = 'Special Users'
def project = getIssueContext().projectObject
def projectComponents = project.components
def currentUserRoleNames = projectRoleManager.getProjectRoles(currentUser, project)*.name

if (!currentUserRoleNames.contains(targetRoleName)) { 
    getFieldById(COMPONENTS).setFieldOptions(
        projectComponents.findAll {
            it.name in [
                '02-HELPDESK', 
                '03-SECURITY'
            ]
        }.collectEntries {
            [
                it.id.toString(),
                it.name
            ]
        }
    )
}

If you don't have script runner let me know and I'll think of another solution for you! :)

is there any other method to do it without script runner?
