dynamic display a single select list base on issue type

[ClaireYang]

Hi there，

We have a single select list named "service category", which has many options. And I hope it can be dynamic displayed base on issue type value when user submit or edit issues.

For example, when user submit case and choose issue type A, the "service category" field only show A,B and C options. But when user choose issue type B, the field will show other options D and E. I hope it can also work when user edit issue type and "service category" field in a existed issue.

I know it can be done by Behaviours, but I'm a script newbie, could someone tell me how to write the script?

Thank you very much!

Hi @ClaireYang ,

Please create a behaviours and map it to the "Issue Type" field. Then please try to use this script : 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript


@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours

int selectListId = 11001

def selectList = getFieldById("customfield_" + selectListId)
String issuetype = getIssueContext().getIssueType().getName()
def map

switch (issuetype){
case "Incident":
map = ["Value 1", "Value 2"]
break;
case "Task":
map = ["Value 3", "Value 4"]
break;
default :
break;
}

if (map != null){
def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getOptionsManager()
def selectListCustomField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject(selectListId)
def fieldConfig = selectListCustomField.getRelevantConfig(getIssueContext())
def options = optionsManager.getOptions(fieldConfig)
def optionsMap = options.findAll {
it.value in map // list of options you want to show
}.collectEntries {
[
(it.optionId.toString()) : it.value
]
}
selectList.setFieldOptions(optionsMap)
}

Update the id of the select list custom field, the values of the issue types the select list values.

So now how would you do this in a JIRA Cloud instance?

Hello @Antoine Berry  and @ClaireYang ,

I tried the same script. But I am getting an error in the last line.

setFieldOptions method is not working. Error:

Cannot Find Matching method.

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException : No signature of method :

com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.ImmutableCustomField.setFieldOptions() is applicable for argument types: (java.util.LinkedHashMap) values: [[:]]

Could you please help

Thanks and Regards,

Hi @SWAPNIL SRIVASTAV ,

If you follow the logic of the script, the optionsMap being empty either means that : 

• the issuetype is not in the first switch list
• the values defined in the "map" are not valid for the select custom field (remember that it is case sensitive)

Hello @Antoine Berry ,

Here's my original request:

or

(Here, I have mentioned the code that I have used).

Kindly have a look and let me know, where am I going wrong.

Thanks and Regards,
