How to Remove a value from Drop Down in a transition

[Vishnukumar Vasudevan]

Hi,

I have a Custom Field, ‘Change Type ‘ a drop down with values ‘Value1’, ‘Value2’ and ‘Value3’.

I use this field in two different Issue types, say ‘Type 1’ and ‘Type 2’. But I need to remove the value ‘Value2’ in Issue Type 2.

Tried adding Context, but we can’t have two contexts for a single project.

Is there any property like ‘jira.field.resolution.exclude’ for a custom field ? So that I can add this in Create Issue step.

Or any other Workaround ?

Thanks, Vishnu

You have to create two custom fields and set the context as applicable to the different issue-types (so that you can use the same transistion screen).

Thanks Renjith.

Do you mean I have to Create Two Custom Fields with same name ?

If so, I guess in filters we will have two fields. This may confuse users right ?

Also JIRA doesn't allo to create Context based on Issue Types. It's possible only based on projects.

As I mentioned, is there any properties I can use ?

FYI : I use JIRA 4.4.1 and 4.4

If you set the context of the fields correctly, only the right one will appear in the issue navigator filter after selection of project and issue type. Of course in other areas, like gadgets, jql, yes there is a chance for the people to get confused.

Am not sure about any other means :(

Yes, two fields mean two filter options, and some things go wrong if you use the same name for two different fields. I add a simple . to the name of one of one of them, or use capitals to distinguish them

Er, yes it does - I've got loads of fields locked to issue type instead of projects. That's been there since v3.0 if memory serves.

Nic,

>Also JIRA doesn't allo to create Context based on Issue Types. It's possible only based on projects.

Are you sure ? I use JIRA 4.4.1. and 4.4. I couldn't create Context for this field based on issue types.

I added one cotext for 'Change Request' and added all projects to this context.

Then added one more context for 'Tasks' but I was unable to choose projects. The Projects drop down was empty as I have already added all projects to the first Context.

Did I miss anything ?

Hi.

You can hide Value2 by jquery or javascript

Hi Vishnu,

Agrred that this is a challenge, Instead choosing a project in context, have global context for the field just associate it to the issue type. You can have as many contexts like these.
