Hello Community,

I need to show a field on the basis of another. If click on one of the options on checkbox field then the other field(date field) should be visible, if i have not
selected that particular check box then it should be hidden. I am using JIRA server version 8.5.0. How can i achieve this using script runner?

If you've got ScriptRunner installed, then you can use the 'Behaviors' function to do this pretty easily. Adaptavist has an example in their library on how to do this, but their example is maybe a little more complicated than it needs to be. Here's my example, show\requiring two custom fields if the "Yes" option in the third field is selected. You may need to modify this some with a checkbox field, but this should get you pretty close.

// Get the fields you need
def triggerField = getFieldByName("Custom Checkbox Field")
def showField1 = getFieldByName("Custom Field 1")
def showField2 = getFieldByName("Custom Field 2")

// Evaluate the selected value; in this case, does it equal the string "Yes"

if(triggerField.value == "Yes"){
showField1.setHidden(false)
showField1.setRequired(true)
showField2.setHidden(false)
showField2.setRequired(true)
} 

else{
showField1.setHidden(true);
showField1.setRequired(false);
showField2.setHidden(true);
showField2.setRequired(false); 
}
