Write Behavior for Multi-select Field

[Didem Seda Taş]

Hello,

I have a field called Resource Type for Application multiple select list. There are RAM, CPU and Pod Number options in this area. I also have 3 numeric fields named Memory Size, Number of Processors and Pod Count.

My question is;
If I choose the RAM option from my multiple select list field named Resource Type for Application, I want the Memory Size field, if I choose CPU, Number of processors, and if I choose pod, I want the pod count field to appear. Since my Resource type for application field is multiselect, I did not know how to write a behavior.

Can anyone help?

So, you have 3 fields that should be visible or not based on a specific value in a multi-select list being selected or not.

Here is how I would write this:

def multiSelectFieldName = 'Resource Type for Application'
def multiSelectField = getFieldByName(multiSelectFieldName)
def selectedValues = multiSelectField.value as List

def valueFieldMap = [
        RAM         : 'Memory Size',
        CPU         : 'Number of Processors',
        'POD Number': 'Pod Count'
]

valueFieldMap.each { value, fieldName ->
    def showField = selectedValues.contains(value)
    getFieldByName(fieldName).setHidden(!showField)
}

Hi Peter,

You always help me. I solved the problem on your page. Thank you very much again.

Have a nice day :)

@PD Sheehan -- This is wonderful, very elegant code.. Can this be applied to Jira service desk Portal too?

[PD Sheehan]

Yes, behaviors work pretty much just the same in jira as in service desk portal.

I have found some slight differences when dealing with getting values from Insight custom fields. There are some inconsistencies as to whether you get a string or a size-1 array when a single value is selected. One is a string, the other is an array, I don't remember which is which off the top of my head.

Hi @Didem Seda Taş

You will need to create a Server-Side Behaviour of the Multi-Select List for your requirement. 

For the Behaviour code, you can try something like this:-

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours behaviours
def hardwareSelector = getFieldById(fieldChanged)
def hardwareSelectorValue = hardwareSelector.value.toString()

def memorySize = getFieldByName('Memory Size')
def numberOfProcessors = getFieldByName('Number of Processors')
def podCount = getFieldByName('POD Count')

memorySize.hidden = true
numberOfProcessors.hidden = true
podCount.hidden = true

if (hardwareSelectorValue == '[RAM]') {
    memorySize.hidden = false
}  else if (hardwareSelectorValue == '[CPU]') {
    numberOfProcessors.hidden = false
} else if (hardwareSelectorValue == '[POD Number]') {
    podCount.hidden = false
} else if (hardwareSelectorValue == '[RAM, CPU]') {
    memorySize.hidden = false
    numberOfProcessors.hidden = false
} else if (hardwareSelectorValue == '[RAM, POD Number]') {
    memorySize.hidden = false
    podCount.hidden = false
} else if (hardwareSelectorValue == '[CPU, POD Number]') {
    numberOfProcessors.hidden = false
    podCount.hidden = false
} else if (hardwareSelectorValue == '[RAM, CPU, POD Number]') {
    memorySize.hidden = false
    numberOfProcessors.hidden = false
    podCount.hidden = false
}

Please note that the sample working code provided is not 100% exact to your environment. Hence, you will need to modify the code accordingly. 

Below is a print screen of the Behaviour configuration:-

Also, I am including a few test print screens:-

1. By default, when no option from the multi-select is picked, all the number fields are hidden, as shown in the image below:-

2. When any single option is selected, as shown in the images below, only a single field will be displayed, and the other fields will be hidden.

3. When multiple options are selected, multiple fields will be made visible, as shown in the images below:-

4. Finally, if you select all the options, all the fields will be visible as shown below:-

I hope this helps to solve your question. :)

Thank you and Kind regards,

Ram

Thank you very much Ram for your very detailed explanation. It helped a lot.

Have a nice day :)

Hi @Didem Seda Taş  Behaviour for Multi Select in avaiable on Adaptivist library , you can check this :-

[Didem Seda Taş]

Hi Vikrant,

I couldn't find the script I was looking for. Thank you for your attention :)

[Vikrant Yadav]

Hi @Didem Seda Taş  You only to do minor change in the given script, it's very simple :- 

You need to apply Behaviour on Multi select list field :- 

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours
def log = Logger.getLogger(getClass())

// Set log level
log.setLevel(Level.DEBUG)

def multiSelectField = getFieldByName('MultiSelectA')//multiselect list field name
def ram_size = getFieldByName("Memory Size")// do same for other two fields 

// Value for a multi-select field will always be a list even if "None" is selected
def multiSelectFieldValue = multiSelectField.value as List


// If value is RAM
if (multiSelectFieldValue == [RAM]) {
   ram_size.setHidden(false)

// If a given string is selected
} else if (multiSelectFieldValue == ["RAM" | "CPU"]) {
ram_size.setHidden(false)
cpu_size.setHidden(false)

// If more than 1 value is selected
} else if ( multiSelectFieldValue.size() > 2 ) {
ram_size.setHidden(false)
cpu_size.setHidden(false)

}

 Try this it should work.

Hi again, I made the code you wrote below, but it didn't work, what could be the problem?

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours
def log = Logger.getLogger(getClass())

// Set log level
log.setLevel(Level.DEBUG)

def multiSelectField = getFieldByName('Resource type for application')//multiselect list field name
def ram_size = getFieldByName("İzin Tipi")// do same for other two fields 
def CPU = getFieldByName("İzin Sebebi")// do same for other two fields 
def Podsayısı = getFieldByName("HPA Metric")// do same for other two fields

 

// Value for a multi-select field will always be a list even if "None" is selected
def multiSelectFieldValue = multiSelectField.value as List


// If value is RAM
if (multiSelectFieldValue == ["RAM"]) {
ram_size.setHidden(false)
CPU.setHidden(true)
Podsayısı.setHidden(true)
}

// If value is CPU
if (multiSelectFieldValue == ["CPU"]) {
ram_size.setHidden(true)
CPU.setHidden(false)
Podsayısı.setHidden(true)
}


// If value is RAM
if (multiSelectFieldValue == ["Pod Sayısı"]) {
ram_size.setHidden(true)
CPU.setHidden(true)
Podsayısı.setHidden(false)
}

 

// If a given string is selected
else if (multiSelectFieldValue == ["RAM" && "CPU"]) {
ram_size.setHidden(false)
CPU.setHidden(false)
Podsayısı.setHidden(true)

}

// If a given string is selected
else if (multiSelectFieldValue == ["RAM" && "Pod Sayısı"]) {
ram_size.setHidden(false)
CPU.setHidden(true)
Podsayısı.setHidden(false)

}


// If a given string is selected
else if (multiSelectFieldValue == ["Pod Sayısı" && "CPU"]) {
ram_size.setHidden(true)
CPU.setHidden(false)
Podsayısı.setHidden(false)

}

 

// If more than 1 value is selected
else if ( multiSelectFieldValue.size() > 2 ) {
ram_size.setHidden(false)
CPU.setHidden(false)
Podsayısı.setHidden(false)

}

Hi @Didem Seda Taş :- Following script is working when one value is selected in multi select list field or all three selected but not working when selecting two value :(

// Value for a multi-select field will always be a list even if "None" is selected

}

// If a given string is selected

You are very interested @Vikrant Yadav . Thanks a lot for your support :)

[Didem Seda Taş]

@PD Sheehan 

@Ram Kumar Aravindakshan _Adaptavist_ 

could you please help me?

[Jack Brickey]

It seems what you want can be provided by the Cascading select field. There are two levels for this field where the options in level 2 are conditioned by the choice made in level 1. Can you give that a try?

[Didem Seda Taş]

Hi Jack, thank you very much for your interest :)

I'm not good at behavior. I don't know how to edit the way you mentioned :(

[Jack Brickey]

I think I may have misread your original post. My suggestion was not associated with Behaviors at all. Rather I was suggesting the use of a cascading select field type.
