Do we dynamically change the customfield values in create and edit screens based on user?

[Bharadwaj Jannu]

Hi,

I have a requirement that a customfield show only some options to a paticular user.

Suppose my customfield is of type "Multi Checkboxes" and its name is TEMP

it has options as

External

Internal

Other

Now, I should able to show only "External" and "Other" under TEMP for user1 in both Create and Edit screens.

only Internal to user2 in both Create and Edit screens.

Thanks,

Bharadwaj Jannu

Nope, can't do it natively, you need some code, javascript etc.

There's a more advanced conversation from earlier today that you might want to look at - https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/199057/is-it-possible-to-show-few-issue-types-and-category-and-subcategory-to-particular-group-in-jira-5-0-2

Oh, yes, absolutely.

If you create your own custom field type, you can pretty much do what you want with it. This also has the advantage that it does the security work before data goes to the browser, so there's no leaking of potentially sensitive data, probably no need for any javascript, and no way to bypass it.

Thanks for quick reply Nic,

Is it possible to extend the exising custom field type and place restrictions inside the code?

Start at https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/JIRA+Plugin+Guide and https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/JIRA+Developer+Documentation and then focus on https://developer.atlassian.com/display/JIRADEV/How+to+create+a+new+Custom+Field+Type

Thanks Nic for the helper documents.

I got the solution by simply changing the edit-multicheckboxes.vm
