Question About Custom Fields Based on Previous Field Values

[Ayush Pathak]

I am wondering if it's possible to make a custom field appear based on the value of a previous field(not issue type). For instance, if one field has the value "A," then a field called "A ID" will appear. Similarly, if the value is "B," a field called "B ID" will appear on the screen.

Hi @Ayush Pathak ,

It is possible by using behaviors in the ScriptRunner plugin.

If it is on DC and if you have a behaviors Plugin use the below script 

def otherFaveField = getFieldByName("Favourite Fruit (Other)")
def faveFruitField = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())
 
def selectedOption = faveFruitField.getValue() as String
def isOtherSelected = selectedOption == "Other"
 
otherFaveField.setHidden(!isOtherSelected)
otherFaveField.setRequired(isOtherSelected)

Hey Armitha, I have a custom drop-down field on the screen with several options. The requirement is that when I select option A, another field should appear below this custom field. Similarly, if I select option B, a different field should appear based on that value.

We resolved that with  Dynamic Forms for Jira.  Moreover, you don't have to write any scripts for that. The whole configuration is really simple and you can set it under the specific project or globally for all projects that are using a specific scheme. 

You also gain some additional abilities like Set Default Value (even description), Set Value based on condition, and required/read-only for fields.
