How to hide the field on Edit Screen

[CST JIRA Confluence Admin]

We have 1 ScriptRunner scripted field. We want to hide 2 JIRA custom fields on Edit Screen based on the logic:

if scripted = value a

• show custom field 1 and make it mandatory
• show custom field 2 and make it mandatory

else

• hide custom field 1
• hide custom field 2

We've tried Behaviour function from ScriptRunner but no luck. Please advise.

Scripted fields are calculated fields, so can't be edited, so will never appear on a screen.

Therefore you can't get the value from behaviours, but you can get it from the java API for the issue.

Eg:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Some Scripted Field")
def cfValue = underlyingIssue?.getCustomFieldValue(cf)

if (cfValue == "foo") {
    getFieldById("summary").setRequired(true)
    // etc
}
else {
    // ...
}

Great. It works. Thanks a lot.

Here is my code

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("MJE, IC, CAPEX")
def cfValue = underlyingIssue?.getCustomFieldValue(cf)
if (cfValue == "Capex") {
    getFieldByName("Target Go Live Date").setRequired(true)
    getFieldByName("Project id").setRequired(true)
    getFieldByName("Target Go Live Date").setHidden(false)
    getFieldByName("Project id").setRequired(false)
}
else {
    getFieldByName("Target Go Live Date").setHidden(true)
    getFieldByName("Project id").setHidden(true)
}

Hi, I'd recommend taking a look at our article in the documentation that shows how to make a field mandatory or hidden based on the value of another select list field. It should help you get a long way towards configuring Behaviours to do this.

Hi Mark,

I've read the document on ScriptRunner carefully but it seems that it cannot work with scripted field. It only can be done by JIRA custom field (select list ...). Is it correct?
