Is it possible to build a drop down in Jira with values from another field?

Eric Smith_ingq4f

Hello,

 

I am trying to use ScriptRunner plug in to dynamically build a select list based on comma delimited values entered by the user in another field

 

So field 1 is multi-line text field in JIRA which looks like this "red,green,blue,yellow"

 

and i'd like to write a script in scriptrunner that takes the values entered into that field and created a drop-down select with them. Is this possible? If so, is it still possible if the fields are in seperate projects?

Yes, that's possible using the Select List Conversion in scriptrunner behaviours.

On the initializer and your multiline text field, place a script that looks like this:

def csvFieldName = 'csv Field'
def targetSelectFieldName = 'field to convert to select'

def csvField = getFieldByName(csvFieldName)
def targetSelectField = getFieldByName(targetSelectFieldName)
def csvValue = csvField.value as String
targetSelectField.convertToShortText()
if(csvValue){
   def optionMap = [:]
   optionMap.put("","") // this is to have a blank option that allows clearing the field
   csvValue.split(',').each{optionMap.put(it.trim(),it.trim())}
   targetSelectField.convertToMultiSelect().setFieldOptions(optionMap)
} else {
   targetSelectField.convertToShortText().setReadOnly(true).setDescription("Populate values in $csvFieldName before making a selection")
}
