How Do I Use Multi Cascading Fields To Display A Text Box

[Ryan Zore]

I want our Product Bug Issue Type to have a required checkbox asking if the proposed change will have x impact.   

If yes, I want the field to display a multi line text box field requesting more information.  

Can anyone point me to documentation that can help me out? 

Thanks

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- , Could you please help me how to setup a dynamic fields display based on the Cascading Field list.

I have one Cascading field, Two Text fields on our instance. We want to display or hide text field based on the cascading value.

If possible please provide the script here, Thanks. 

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

There's a load in the library.  https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/set-available-options-to-a-multi-select-list might be a good start

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- , I couldn't find the code to display or hide fields based on custom field cascading values.

I don't now how to use the logic on the cascading field. Thanks

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

I'd have a look at the rest of the library.  I am not going to write your code for you (I've not done it before so I have nothing to hand over)

Hi @Varun Nelluri 

Can you elaborate your use case a bit in detail? Have you written some code already?

If you are dealing with cascading select list then something like this can be helpful. The code will hide a field based on values selected in cascading select list (parent or child).

/**
Hide a field based on the values selected in either parent or child of a cascading select list.

Cascading field: Country and city
Parent options: [India, UK]
Child options: [Delhi, Mumbai], [London, Reading, Slough]

**/
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.manager.OptionsManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.config.FieldConfig
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Options

log.debug("******Logging starts********")

def parentField = getFieldById("customfield_10401")
def parentFieldValue = parentField.getValue()
def childField = getFieldById("customfield_10401:1")
def childFieldValue = childField.getValue()
def fieldToHide = getFieldByName("Review Date")

log.debug("Parent Field: " + parentFieldValue)
log.debug("Child Field: " + childFieldValue)

/**Hide based on parent field **/
if( parentFieldValue.containsAll("UK")) {

fieldToHide.setHidden(true)

} else {

fieldToHide.setHidden(false)
}

/**Hide based on child field **/

/*
if( childFieldValue == "Delhi") {

fieldToHide.setHidden(true)

} else {

fieldToHide.setHidden(false)
}
*/

There is no error handling in this code but it will give you some idea.

Method name is containsAll() check your code.

"..if (ProblemCodeValue.fcontainsAll("xxxxx")) { "

[Varun Nelluri]

test

[Ravi Sagar _Sparxsys_]

Try to log.debug("ProblemCode Value: " + ProblemCodeValue) to check what it is returning. If it is just a string then in your condition remove containsAll() with ==

[Varun Nelluri]

@Ravi Sagar _Sparxsys_ , still not code is not working for me. Do you have any suggestions, Thanks.

[Ravi Sagar _Sparxsys_]

Paste your complete code and also share what type of fields are those in your code.

[Varun Nelluri]

@Ravi Sagar _Sparxsys_ , When specific value selected on Cascading field(Problem code), Test fields should hid or show on the create screen. I am using below code(No errors on the code), not working for me. Could you please help me with this.

Field Types: 

"ProblemCode" - Cascading field

"Callsamples" - Text field

"StepstoReproduce" -  Text field.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.manager.OptionsManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.config.FieldConfig
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Options

def StepstoReproduce = getFieldByName("Steps to Reproduce")
def Callsamples = getFieldByName("Call samples")
def ProblemCode = getFieldByName("Problem Code")
//create map

Map cfVal = ProblemCode.getValue() as Map

if(cfVal.get(0) == "XXXXX")
{
Callsamples.setHidden(false)
StepstoReproduce.setHidden(false)
}

if(cfVal.get(0) == "YYYYY")
{
Callsamples.setHidden(true)
StepstoReproduce.setHidden(false)
}

if(cfVal.get(0) == "ZZZZ")
{
Callsamples.setHidden(false)
StepstoReproduce.setHidden(true)
}

if(cfVal.get(0) == null)
{
Callsamples.setHidden(true)
StepstoReproduce.setHidden(true)
}

@Ravi Sagar _Sparxsys_ , Did you had a chance to look at the script i have shared above?

[Ryan Zore]

Thanks, I was hoping there would be an option in the product itself.  

Have you used this for a similar situation?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

It's one of the reasons the behaviour module in Scriptrunner was written - because Jira does not have functions to show/hide fields.

A lot of people use Behaviours for this.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

You will need to install something like Scriptrunner, to enable you to inject code on the front-end that can show and hide fields depending on the content of others.
