Limiting options in create screen based upon previous input

[Dan Foster]

Hi all,

We're working on a particularly tricky piece of automation to create subtasks and were hoping for some input.

Question: is it possible to limit the options available on a create screen (in a multi select custom field) based upon the input in a previous field on the same create screen?

For example:

Custom field 1 (single select) contains:

Project 1

Project 2

Project 3

etc

Custom field 2 (multi select) contains:

Area 1

Area 2

Area 3

etc

We'd like to be able to limit the options available in Custom Field 2 based upon what the user selected in Custom Field 1 on the create screen.  ie. if they select Project 1, only allow them to pick from Area 2 or 3, etc.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Hi @Dan Foster 

Rather than using two fields, have you considered using a Select List / Cascading field for the options?

Kind regards,
Bill

@Bill Sheboy you may have just made my day.  I spend all day in Jira but sometimes the answer is right under your nose.  I'll do some testing but at first glance this looks like it may be what we're looking for, thank you
