a way to remove "None" from the drop down fields ,Cascading select and default to empty.

Hello,

Unfortunately JIRA doesn't remove 'None' from a Cascading Select Custom Field when they are two values present. I came across have an improvement request to better handle this as tracked under JRA-32463. I would suggest that you do the following on the ticket:

* Vote, so that it will receive more attention

* Watch it, so that you will receive any and all updates

* Comment, and give your opinion on the matter

You could look at customising JIRA to prevent this kind of behaviour,

Hope it helps.

I added the below JavaScript to the description of the cascading field in the field configurations. Worked for me.

#customfield_33382 = "id of the parent select list"

customfield_33382:1 = name of the child select list"

<script>

AJS.$('#customfield_33382').children(':first').hide();

AJS.$('#customfield_33382').change( function (e){

setTimeout(function () {

AJS.$('[name="customfield_33382:1"] option:first').remove();

}, 100);

});

</script>

Thanks

This is a great workaround! Thanks so much.

@Andrian F This works good :) But after I add this to script, I get a NONE in the first drop down , even though I have a default value set for the field.

Same here, it didn't work for me

I implemented this - so far so good. The problem is that as soon as I do a few manipulation on existing tickets (commenting, moving, etc.) and then create a new ticket, the "none" is back.

Checked with Firefox and Chrome, JIRA 6.3

Any idea, why?

Thanks and best,
Michael

Did you check if the JS is getting executed . Try to add some console.log("") messages and verify that.

Recently i came to know that, JS to be executed the user needs to have edit permissions on the ticket.

That could be one reason too
