Custom field values changing based on the Component/s value

[Ilyas Kucukcay]

Hi everyone, 

I have a requirement where a custom field's values need to be changed depending on the Component/s field value. There will only be one value at a time for the Component/s field. 

I have the options to use Script Runner/Behaviours add-ons; however kinda stuck on how to proceed. 

Component A; 1,2,3

Component B; 4,5,6

Component C: 7,8,9

I'd use the cascading fields, however I do not think it allows us to use the Component/s field to base the values depending on it's values. 

Thank you very much for all the ideas in advance!

Hi @Ilyas Kucukcay,

If you can explore a custom solution then your requirement can be achieved in two steps:

• Capture the issue updated event.
• Check if the Component field has been updated, using the update event's change items
• If Yes, then based on the Component field value, update the issue's custom field

Hope this helps.

"Issue updated" event includes "Create issue" event or it needs to be included aswell?

[Ravi Varma]

You are correct @Cristian Rosas [Tecnofor].

At the first instance, Create Issue event should update the custom field value and then comes my logic for addressing Update Issue event

@Ravi Varma Thanks for the reply! That's been my thinking as well; however I am struggling on what mediums to use. Do you happen to know a direct reference that would include a sample code/script to achieve this? Just curious as someone else might have done it already. 

Cheers, 

Ilyas
