Hi all,
We're working on a particularly tricky piece of automation to create subtasks and were hoping for some input.
Question: is it possible to limit the options available on a create screen (in a multi select custom field) based upon the input in a previous field on the same create screen?
For example:
Custom field 1 (single select) contains:
Project 1
Project 2
Project 3
etc
Custom field 2 (multi select) contains:
Area 1
Area 2
Area 3
etc
We'd like to be able to limit the options available in Custom Field 2 based upon what the user selected in Custom Field 1 on the create screen. ie. if they select Project 1, only allow them to pick from Area 2 or 3, etc.
Thanks in advance for any input.
Hi @Dan Foster
Rather than using two fields, have you considered using a Select List / Cascading field for the options?
Kind regards,
Bill
@Bill Sheboy you may have just made my day. I spend all day in Jira but sometimes the answer is right under your nose. I'll do some testing but at first glance this looks like it may be what we're looking for, thank you

@Bill Sheboy after looking into this field this unfortunately won't work for us, as each level can only have a single selection. We require a single selection at the top (project) level, and multiple selections at the bottom (area) level

Hey, @Dan Foster
My mistake: I missed the multiple-selection for the second field!
A cascade field does not support this and "hacking" it seems a bad approach (i.e., adding all possible combinations as the child value: area1, area1-area2, area1-area-3, ...)
You may want to check the Atlassian Marketplace for more options of custom field types for this scenario: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=custom+fields&product=jira&hosting=cloud
