How do I gray out the second level of cascading select field?

[dana m]

Hi,

I have a cascading select list, in some of the first level select- there are no second level select, so when the user chooses those ones, the second option he gets is to choose None. This is confusing to the users.

Is there an option to gray out the second level if we didn't insert any options to choose from, instead of presenting a None value.

I want to use a behavior script, but not sure how to.

Thanks,

Dana

Hi @dana m 

Try this piece of code.

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 parentField = getFieldById("customfield_10501")
def parentFieldValue = parentField.getValue()
def childField = getFieldById("customfield_10501:1")
def childFieldValue = childField.getValue()
def customField = getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectsByName("CUSTOM FIELD NAME")
FieldConfig config = customField[0].getRelevantConfig(getIssueContext())
def rootOptions_ = ComponentAccessor.getOptionsManager().getOptions(config)
def childOptions_ = [:]

rootOptions_.rootOptions.each { it ->
childOptions_[it] = it.childOptions
}

def nullcheck = []
nullcheck = childOptions_.findAll { it.value.size() == 0 }.keySet()
def readOnlyYes = nullcheck.findAll { it ==~ parentFieldValue[0].toString() }.size()

if( !parentFieldValue.isEmpty() && readOnlyYes >= 1) {
childField.setReadOnly(true) 
} else {
childField.setReadOnly(false)
}

1. Create a behaviour on the field where you want this to be done.
2. Add the following code in the server-side script.
3. Make sure you change the customfield_id at 2 places and CUSTOM FIELD NAME

Let me know if it works.

Hi Ravi,

Thanks for your reply and the example script.

Unfortunately it didn't work for me, I mapped the field and project and changed the Customer field ID and name.

Still the second level shows the None regularly.

Any suggestions.

Thanks,

The childField should be like this.

def childField = getFieldById("customfield_10501:1")

In the browser do inspect element and confirm the id along with the number after the colon.

I tried this template before but it didn't work,

"customfield_10501:1"

 checking now in the inspect element , i saw another option but tried it and still it's not working, and the None appears in the second level.

Try writing to log by adding log.debug(parentFieldValue) to check whether the field is captured or not.

This script works for me as described by @Ravi Sagar _Sparxsys_ , forcing an edit to the cascading select field to open the edit screen (instead of inline) and locking the second dropdown if the only option is "none"/null.  It also works in the create screen.

I'm trying to do something somewhat different, but using this as a springboard.  I wanted to report to others who find this post that it works as described, since it was not marked as accepted. 

It may even be possible to allow inline editing with this script, but I have not tested it and don't intend to.

Thanks!
