Behavior: to hide "Checklist" Custom field (prepopulated values) from view / edit screens

Marius Pienaar

Good day, 

 

I wonder if any of you have managed to hide a "custom" checklist with prepopulated values from the view/edit screens. 

It seems that if your checklist is prepopulated it is always visible? 

 

What I want if I select Sev 1 / 2 in Priority show my checklist otherwise hide it. It works for other custom fields but but checklist. 

 

If that is not possible is it possible to "set values" for a "blank checklist" field when creating an issue - what I then can do is to say when I create a Sev 1/2 populate checklist with option 1 and 2 

 

Code that works to hide other "select list" custom field:

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FormField

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueConstantImpl

 

def priority = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())

def fieldValue = ((IssueConstantImpl) priority.getValue()).getId()

 

FormField rootcause = getFieldById ("customfield_10303")

 

if (fieldValue == "2") { 

 

rootcause.setFormValue(-1)

rootcause.setHidden(false)    

}

 

else if (fieldValue == "10101") { 

 

rootcause.setFormValue(-1)

rootcause.setHidden(false)    

   

}

 

else {

 

rootcause.setFormValue(-1)

rootcause.setHidden(true)

}

 

Thank you

Hi Marius,

The values returned by the Checklist field is of a specific type (ChecklistItem) in JSON which means that pure strings will not work. To convert a JSON string to a CheklistItem, you need to get the customefieldType from the custom field and call getSingularObjectFromString. The string needs to be a JSON notation in the form:

{"name" : "A", "checked" : true, "mandatory" : false, "rank" : 1} 

 

Here's the sample script which you can refer to update the checklist in Edit Screen and the Checklist field will be hidden when the Priority met the condition:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueConstantImpl
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventType
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventTypeManager

if (getActionName() != "Create") {
   
    def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()

    //Get issue ID from current Edit Screen    def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject(underlyingIssue.id)

    def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
    def cbField2 = getFieldByName("Checklist")
    def checkListField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Checklist")

    def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getOptionsManager()
    def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

    def checkListCustomFieldValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(checkListField)
    def checkListConfig = checkListField.getRelevantConfig(issue)
    def checkListOptions = optionsManager.getOptions(checkListConfig)

    //To convert a json string to a CheklistItem,    def checkListCustomFieldType  = checkListField.getCustomFieldType()
    def newCheckListValueItem1 = checkListCustomFieldType.getSingularObjectFromString('{"name" : "A", "checked" : true, "mandatory" : false, "rank" : 1}')
    def newCheckListValueItem2 = checkListCustomFieldType.getSingularObjectFromString('{"name" : "B", "checked" : true, "mandatory" : false, "rank" : 2}')
    def newCheckListValueItem3 = checkListCustomFieldType.getSingularObjectFromString('{"name" : "C", "checked" : false, "mandatory" : false, "rank" : 1}')
    def newCheckListValueItem4 = checkListCustomFieldType.getSingularObjectFromString('{"name" : "D", "checked" : false, "mandatory" : false, "rank" : 2}')
    def newCheckListValueItem5 = checkListCustomFieldType.getSingularObjectFromString('{"name" : "E", "checked" : false, "mandatory" : false, "rank" : 3}')

    //def newCheckListValueList = []    List newCheckListValueList = new ArrayList();

    def priority = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())
    def fieldValue = ((IssueConstantImpl) priority.getValue()).getId()


    if (fieldValue == "1") {
        cbField2.setHidden(false)
        newCheckListValueList.add(newCheckListValueItem1)
        newCheckListValueList.add(newCheckListValueItem2)
        
        issue.setCustomFieldValue(checkListField, newCheckListValueList)
        issueManager.updateIssue(currentUser, issue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH , false)  

    } else if (fieldValue == "2") {
        cbField2.setHidden(false)
        newCheckListValueList.add(newCheckListValueItem3)
        newCheckListValueList.add(newCheckListValueItem4)
        newCheckListValueList.add(newCheckListValueItem5)
        
        issue.setCustomFieldValue(checkListField, newCheckListValueList)
        issueManager.updateIssue(currentUser, issue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH , false)    

    } else {
        cbField2.setHidden(true)
        return
    }
}

Hope this helps!
