Is it possible to have multiple drop down lists depending on what custom category is selected?

Hi all, 

 

I am looking for a solution to a small problem. When creating an issue, ideally I would like to have multiple dropdown menus linked to separate selections in a custom category list. 

To get a better idea, here is an example of what I would like.

Issue Type: Task

Category 1 (List):

  • Selection A
  • Selection B
  • Selection C

Category 2 (Drop-down):

  • Drop-down A
    • Selection 1
    • Selection 2
  • Drop-down B
    • Selection 3
    • Selection 4
  • Drop-down C
    • Selection 5
    • Selection 6

So, If the user selects Selection B in Category 1, the drop-down box Category 2 will dynamically change to the correctly assigned drop-down list, in this example, it will be Drop-down B with only selections 3 & 4 in its list.

And so on, with Selection A -> Drop-down A. Selection C -> Drop-down C. 

 

I am fairly new to Jira, so be kind :)

Thanks,

Dean.

The built-in "cascading select" field will do two layers, but for the three you describe, you either need separate fields and something like ScriptRunner's Behaviours to tie them together, or the multi-level cascading select add-on from the marketplace.
