JIRA 7 - Disable/Enable Cascade Select Parent Option programmatically

[Ramakrishnan Srinivasan]

Hi,

 I need some help in disabling Cascading Select Parent Options by running the script monthly once.

Lets say I have two cascade select fields

Field 1 with parent options 'Dec'-19', 'Jan-19', 'Feb-19','Mar-19

Field 2 with parent options ' 'Dec'-19', 'Jan-19', 'Feb-19','Mar-19

Requirement is 

• Field 1, except for Dec-19, I want to disable all other options
• Field 2 except for Jan-19, I want to disable all other options
• Next month, I have to Disable and Enable sliding month names
  • FIeld 1 - disable Dec-19, enable Jan-19
  • Field 2 - disable Jan-19, enable Feb-19

I was exploring Script Runner, python jira REST for past couple of days, but could not find a way of doing. I have to do this monthly once so that I can make users do what I want them to do from that month onwards 

Thank you in advance, any help/pointers is appreciated

with warm regards

As soon as I posted and searched again, Thanks to Mark Markov, I got the answer from https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Disable-particular-options-with-groovy-script-runner/qaq-p/871249

I am also adding a small additional feature here which is to check whether the option is disabled or not ( I was searching for it and found again today :) )

//https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Disable-particular-options-with-groovy-script-runner/qaq-p/871249
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.manager.OptionsManager
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Options

def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getOptionsManager()
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
// change xxxx with id of your cascaded custom field
def cascSelectCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("DUMMY_ONE")
// get an issue just for relevant config
def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject("PROJ-1")
Options options = optionsManager.getOptions(cascSelectCf.getRelevantConfig(issue));
def rootOptions = options.getRootOptions()
rootOptions.each {

 if(it.getDisabled() == false) {
    log.info "Option is disabled"
  }
 if(it.value == "Dec-18") {
 //log.info "$it.optionId - $it.value"
 optionsManager.disableOption( it) 
 //optionsManager.enableOption( it) 
 }
}

 All the time I was searching to disable cascade select option, this time I just searched disable options and hit the jackpot

If it's a cascading field, it will disable the root options, not the child options. You need to update your code to catch the child options and then perform disabled/enabled.
