Requires minimal coding. Put a "Set Field Value to constant or Groovy expression" post function in the "Create" event. Then in the "Groovy" script part, get the "parent" and "child" value of the cascading select to determine what value you want for the 3rd field.

I have this exact need. what is the concept of the post-function? It sounds like this doesn't need coding.

Thanks

So it's like a 3 level Cascading Select custom field (basically like this add-on https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.sourcesense.jira.plugin.cascadingselect/server/overview)?

What code do you have so far? Are you experiencing any issue with your code?

Do you plan on using this with JIRA Cloud?

Can you just not use a Cascading Select then just create a post-function to update your 3rd Custom field?
