scriprunner how can I hide a value from Master / Slave drop-down list customfield

[Consulente Atlassian]

hello, I have a customfield type selection from the drop-down single value list that represents an animal species: dog or cat (two values). I would like to make sure that a second custom field, always of the single value drop-down type, shows two breeds of dogs (Dalmatian or Labrador) if I have chosen "dog" or "American cat and European cat" if I have chosen cat in the first drop-down list.

this is my groovy code (scriprunner)

Hi Kalos! I worked with your code, and this is what I got to work!

        slaveFormField.setFieldOptions(finalSlaveFieldOptions)
    }

    log.debug("Slave Options After Processing --> " + finalSlaveFieldOptions)

}

I think the main issue was here: it should be getFieldByName instead of getValue. 

FormField masterFormField = getFieldByName("cat/dog test")
FormField slaveFormField = getFieldByName("cat/dog2")

I also put the bulk of the code inside of an if statement as a validator to make sure the code only runs if there actually is a value inside of masterFormFieldValue.

hello @Carmen Creswell [Adaptavist]  and thank you for answering me, I took inspiration from your example code and then I still made some changes after that.
