Set Cascading select field value from behaviour

Question

Hello, everyone.

I have some Epic and Cascading select field named "Client\Contract" in it with value.

When I create issue and choose Epic Link I need this value been copied to creating form from Epic.

I tried many variants but no result. Maximum I got ID's of needed options and println them to description - it works, but I can't put them on my Cascading select.

Even hardcoded values didn't work. Logs are empty.

Here my server-side script for Epic Link field. Initializer is empty

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Option

try {
def epic = getFieldByName("Epic Link").getFormValue().getAt("key").toString()
MutableIssue issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject(epic)
def CC = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject(12902L)
if (issue != null) {
def epicCC = issue.getCustomFieldValue(CC)
def parentValue = epicCC.getAt(null).toString()
def childValue = epicCC.getAt("1").toString()
def CCC = getFieldById("customfield_12902")
def fieldConfig = CC.getRelevantConfig(issue)
def options = ComponentAccessor.getOptionsManager().getOptions(fieldConfig)
for (Option env in options.getRootOptions()) { 
if (env.toString() == parentValue) {
def childOptions = env.getChildOptions()
long parenv = env.optionId
long chenv
for (childOption in childOptions){
if (childOption.findAll {it.toString() == childValue}) {
println childOption.optionId
chenv = childOption.optionId
}
}
def desc = getFieldById("description")
desc.setFormValue([parenv, chenv]) 
CCC.setFormValue([parenv, chenv])
}
}
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
println ex.getStackTrace() 
}

What am I doing wrong?

Are you sure that your two ids are associated correctly to each other?

I just installed a local version of Jira 8.2.2 and latest Scriptrunner.

And I am able to set a cascading select using a very simple behavior.

Here is my test.

Cascade Field Options

* parent 1 (10003)* child a (10005)
* child b (10006)

* parent 2 (10004)* child c (10007)
* child d (10008)

Behavior on summary field:

def ff = getFieldByName('Cascade')
def sum = getFieldById('summary').value
def a = sum.split("-")
ff.setFormValue(a)

When I type 100004-10007 in summary, the Cascade field is set correctly.

But if I type 10004-10006, then the behavior your described (parent only populated) is what happens.

So I think the setFormValue is still working in Jira 8.

I think you should run some test and output the option name from your epic and the associated optionid into the log or some other visible text representation then try with those.

You misunderstood me.

I mean that

ff.setFormValue(["20903", "22829"]) 
//OR
ff.setFormValue([parentOption.optionId.toString(), childOption.optionId.toStrin()])

works ONLY for PARENT option. Child option didn't set if exist, it is None all the time.

Ah perhaps... I don't have access to a Jira 8.x environment yet.

If this works:

ff.setFormValue(["20903", "22829"])

Then you can try this:

ff.setFormValue(["$parentOption.optionId", "$childOption.optionId"])
