Dynamically change selections in custom field?

Bill Wonch1

Hi -

I'm interested in dynamically setting values in a dropdown list based on selection from another field. For instance:

Location: 1, 2, 3

Item: A, B, C

Location 2 may only have item A and C, so we would like to limit the options to that. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Bill

You could also take a look at the behaviours plugin.

The second example Jamie is hiving might suit your needs:

I've seen other plugins that do the same...

That's a cascading select field, if you want the built-in route.

Some sites have different requirements and do this with javascript, which can work well, but is a little tricky in later versions of Jira

Sorry meant that as a comment...

We're running 5.1.4 - any suggestions on a javascript implementation? Say I need to load the list from a file.

I have to wave the "out of my depth" flag. I know javascript can do it, and that in later versions of Jira, you can struggle because you've got four ways to create issues, all slightly different etc, but my javascript is not strong enough to provide you with any real help.

I'd search answers for the word "javascript" - a good chunk of the questions here are about manipulating Jira fields with it.

Thanks for the link! I've been playing around with the Behaviours plugin a little. The fields aren't updating and I see the following error in my logs:

WARNING: A servlet POST request, to the URI http://dtc25003b1c80d7:8082/rest/com.onresolve.jira.plugin.Behaviours/1.0/behaviours/runvalidator.json, contains form parameters in the request body but the request body has been consumed by the servlet or a servlet filter accessing the request parameters. Only resource methods using @FormParam will work as expected. Resource methods consuming the request body by other means will not work as expected.

Seen anything like this with it before? We're running JIRA 5.1.4
