For loop - Behaviour

[Joel Batac]

HI,

 Is it possible to use a for loop for behaviour. Basically, I have a select field (Number of Fields - options 1-10) and 10 text fields (Field Name 1 .. Field Name 2). Based on the selection in Number of Fields, I need to show the exact number of test field. Example, if I select 1 (on Number of Fields), Field Name 1 should show up. Same thing if I select 10, Field Name 1 to Field Name 10 should show up.

So I'm wondering if I can use for loop to accomplish this?

With Groovy there are much better solutions for looping than standard for loops.

Try this:

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours

def selectFld = getFieldByName('Number of Fields')
def numberOfFieldsToShow = 0
def numberOfFieldsTotal = 10
if(selectFld.value) {
    numberOfFieldsToShow = selectFld.value as Integer
}
1.upto(numberOfFieldsTotal){number->
   def visible = number <= numberOfFieldsToShow
   getFieldByName("Field Name $number").setHidden(!visible)
}

 (the first 3 lines are only needed if you work with an external IDE like intellij)

Thanks Peter! I'll try this one.
