How to use the same select user custum field with different user filtering

Question

Hi there,

I have the following situation:

I have the same Jira Custum Form, but will be used by 2 different groups and for each group of people I have a user picker Implementer => now in the form I have a custum field selecting Group A or Group B => and depending on this selection I want for the filed Implementer to be applied different User Filtering Group A  OR User Filtering Group B.

Steps:

1: When user A , select Group A, then I want the field Implementer (to be applied the User FIltering Group A)

2: Same form, when user B, select Group B, then I want the field Implementer (to be applied the User FIltering Group B)

how can I do this ??

Thanks a lot in advance, Klajdi

Hi @Klajdi Hoxha Sina ,

by default a user picker does not have this option. It can filter on a fixed value/filter but not dependent on another field.

You could use a cascading list field which does what you want but it is no user picker. 
Similarly, other addon could provide custom lists but not a user picker.

You could however use an automation and fill your user picker based on another custom field. 
the exact case you are describing is however not possible. You’ll always need a workaround with or without an app.
