Text Field to appear based on Drop Down selection

[Jane Ellis]

Hello!

I would like to have a text box appear based on what Priority (Jira standard field) is selected. So if Highest or High Priority is selected I need my text box (custom field) to appear. So if the Priority Is Medium, Low, or Lowest, I don't want that text box to appear. Can anyone help with this on ScriptRunner?

I have been able to accomplish this with other field types, but not drop down fields.

Thank you.

This is a use case of ScriptRunner's Behaviour. It field return a Priority object.

1. Navigate: ScriptRunner > Behaviour > create and edit your Behaviour > add "Priority" field.

2. Add following server-side script:

def currentPriority = getFieldById(getFieldChanged()).getValue().name

if (currentPriority == "Hightest" || currentPriority == "High") {
  getFieldByName("Your Text Field").setHidden(false).setRequired(true)
} else {
  getFieldByName("Your Text Field").setHidden(true).setRequired(false)
}

I assume once the text field is shown, it is also required.

Above snippet will show a static type checking error, but it will work fine. To eliminate it, you need to cast currentPriority to the proper class Priority.
