How can I add drop down custom field

[Peyush Agarwal]

I have custom field which has double drop down as in

One drop down : 

1. A

2. B

3. C

related drop down values depend on above values

if A is selected 

1. D

2. E

if B is selected 

1. F

2. G

Hi Peyush,

welcome to Atlassian Community!

I assume you created a custom field of type "Cascading Select". Using witn Automation is possible, please have a look here.
There was also a dicussion on this topic in community in the past.

In case the custom field was created correctly it should be possible to find and access it.

Cheers,
Daniel

Thanks Daniel, I will go through this further. 

I am still struggling on few more things such as : 

1. How to find field name of custom field that I can use in smart values

2. How and where Can I use these values? Can I use these as trigger point 

Is there any related video on how to use such fields?

Have you already had a look at the explanation for smart values?

To access an issue field, use the field’s name: {{issue.My custom field name}}. Field names are case insensitive and are translated using your rule actor's language setting.

 It explains it pretty good. As for a video: yes, there is a Channel in YouTube for Automation of Jira (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTIvuZRaTXRcdMLAnyI82tg).

This video seems to handle the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4oKCRRvyRU
