Hello, please help!

I'd like to auto fill a task like this:

Hi Fi Quick,

Thank you for your question.

I can confirm that the ScriptRunner for JIRA Cloud plugin is unable to perform any dynamic validation on issue forms to link or hide fields like the server version can with the Behaviors feature.

Also I can confirm that the plugin cannot dynamically populate field values like it can in the server version can with the Behaviors feature which means that it is not possible to achieve your requirement of Dynamically populating the description field on the create screen with ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud.

The reason we are unable to provide this functionality is due to the restricted functionality and API's which Atlassian provide inside JIRA Cloud, due to the fact that Atlassian only provide a Rest API in Jira Cloud and not the same Java API that the server version contains.

You can see more detailed information on the differences between ScriptRunner for JIRA Cloud and ScriptRunner for JIRA Server inside of the documentation page located here.

I hope this information helps.

Regards,

Kristian

@Fi Quick hi, is it cloud or server? In case of server you can achieve this goal using Script Runner's Behaviours functionality quite easily. There is a documented solution for your use case
