Select List cascading field

[Aggeliki K]

Hello,

We are using a custom field with field type 'Select List (cascading)' and we would like some values of the list not to appear as an option for some specific users.

Is that possible?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Aggeliki K.

Hi @Aggeliki K 

In Jira by default it is not possible. Cascading fields values will be available for all users.

What you can check is Script runner and to be more precise Behaviours feature.

Seba

Unfortunately, Jira Cloud doesn’t support this at the moment due to custom field limitations. I ran into the same situation in Data Center, where we used cascading fields (via ScriptRunner).

Yes, Sebastian’s approach is correct. The quickest solution would be to use ScriptRunner. Jira Service Managment are another Story with Assets.

Hi @Aggeliki K 

Jira's native cascading select doesn't support value-level visibility per user, but this is exactly something Awesome Custom Fields (ACF) can help with.

ACF's Cascading Select field includes a built-in visibility restriction feature that lets you control which Jira user groups can see the field, so certain options simply won't appear for users outside those groups.

You can find step-by-step instructions in our documentation here (Step 7): Restrict visibility – ACF Cascading Select

ACF offers a free trial on the Atlassian Marketplace if you'd like to test it out: Awesome Custom Fields

Happy to answer any questions! 😊
