Filter Affects Version/s based on custom field value

[Sravya Vuggina]

I would like to filter the list of versions in Affects Version/s field based on the value selected in a custom field called Platform.  One version can be shared across multiple platforms. Currently there is no mapping between platform and Affects version fields.

I am unsure of the feasibility but here are my thoughts - Mention the list of platforms sharing a version in version description field. Example description for version 1.0.1 would be like platform1 , platform3. If either plantform1 or platform3 is selected in platform field - version 1.0.1 must show up, if platform2 is selected then Affects Version/s field must not contain 1.0.1 version.

Looking for assistance in either implementing this or alternative ideas to accomplish the same. We are using Jira Server 7.9 version.

Thank you!

I guess you need a listener. If your custom field changes, then update field Affect Version. The problem is that you would need to set in the listener the values in Affect version for each Platform Value.

Well, you could also have those values in an external source which can be accesed via the listener.

Hello @Cristian Rosas [Tecnofor],

Thanks for your response! We are trying to avoid maintenance of external source that has platform <-> affects version mapping. Instead if script runner or listener could pick up the mapping from version description field that would be great.
