Change field color when another field changed

[aas]

Hello everybody. I have 2 different custom fields in issue (e.g cF1 and cF2) and I need functionality when I change cF1 the cF2 should changed automatically to another value and should be hilighted with some color. 

I suppose I can use Custom Script Field, where in InlineScript field I can write script which returns the value of cF2 to custom template field, where I can change color of field. 

But:

1. what should I do to change cF2? (Write a custom listener script, which changes cF2 when cF1 changed or I can change cF2 in the Custom Script Field or some other ideas)?   

2. how to write template, which changed field background? (please example)

If you create a Scripted Field, it does not hold any value.

It only renders what you have scripted, on the fly.

So if cf2 is outputting a value, based on cf1 value, then if cf1 changes, also the cf2 output will change.

So, may be this can be decision? https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/populate-a-field-based-on-another-field-s-content-in-jira-server-649921383.html

No that tutorial involves javascript, meaning using Jira stock.

You just need to create a scripted field, select it's output format (template) "HTML".

Then you can use groovy to calculate the logic and return a html in string format.

Example

def returnArg
switch(issue.priority.name){
case "Low":
  returnArg = "green"
  break
case "High":
  returnArg = "red"
  break
default :
  returnArg="yellow"
  break
}
return "<h4 style='color:${returnArg}'>Test me</h4>"
