Custom Checkbox Field with Different Options Based on Issue Type in a Single Project

[Nguyễn Văn Hiếu]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to create a custom field of type Checkboxes for a single project where the available options differ based on the issue type. Here’s an example for Project P:

• For Issue Type Task, the options should be: Option A, Option B, Option C.
• For Issue Type Sub-task, the options should be: Option E, Option F, Option G.
• For Issue Type Story, the options should be: Option I, Option J, Option K.
• For Issue Type Bug, the options should be: Option X, Option Y, Option Z.

From my understanding, the feature Configuring Custom Field Contexts (https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/configuring-custom-field-contexts-1047552717.html) allows for setting contexts for custom fields, but it seems to be limited to assigning only one context to a custom field for a project at a time. This means we cannot add multiple contexts for a single custom field within the same project to accommodate different issue types.

Is there a solution to achieve this without creating multiple custom fields? I would like to have a single custom checkbox field where the options vary depending on the issue type within the same project.

Hi @Nguyễn Văn Hiếu , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your question.

If you can use an app for this, Behaviours in ScriptRunner should allow you to do this - https://docs.adaptavist.com/sr4js/latest/features/behaviours/behaviours-tutorial 

Please have a look and share your feedback if this would work for your case.

Cheers
