Hi there. I have the following scenario where I wonder ScriptRunner's Behaviour feature can help with the following two fields: * Field 1: "Require Code?" - Checkbox* Option: Yes * Field 2: "Code Location" - Single-line text Use case: * Upon ticket creation, hide "Code Location" by default* If "Require Code?" field is set to "Yes", display and require "Code Location" to be entered. The documentation doesn't really seem to cover this particular scenario. Anyone have any thoughts?

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

ScriptRunner - Display/Hide and Require Field Input Conditionally

Hi there. I have the following scenario where I wonder ScriptRunner's Behaviour feature can help with the following two fields:

Field 1: "Require Code?" - Checkbox
- Option: Yes
Field 2: "Code Location" - Single-line text

Use case:

Upon ticket creation, hide "Code Location" by default
- If "Require Code?" field is set to "Yes", display and require "Code Location" to be entered.

The documentation doesn't really seem to cover this particular scenario. Anyone have any thoughts?

Hi Ricky,

I can confirm that this is possible with Behaviour.

Here is an example of your use case:

1 - Create a Behaviour and map to a project and issue type.

2 - Add a field 'Code Location' and toggle 'Shown' to make it 'Hidden'

3 - Add a field 'Require Code?' and add the following server-side script:

def requireCode = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())
def requireCodeValue = requireCode.getValue()

def codeLocation = getFieldByName("Code Location")

if ('Yes' in requireCodeValue) {
    codeLocation.setHidden(false)
    codeLocation.setRequired(true)
} else {
    codeLocation.setHidden(true)
    codeLocation.setRequired(false)
}

I hope the above helps!

Cheers,
Helmy

Hi Helmy. Thank you so much. I followed your steps to the tee and it works exactly as expected.

Thank you so much for the screenshots and detailed guidance!

Question: Apart from the documentations, is there anywhere else I could look at to get better at using ScriptRunner? Specifically, how to do some of the coding to satisfy some common use cases based on examples.

Hi Ricky,

You're very welcome! I guess you can check out the Adaptavist Library and it is essentially a collection of scripts based on common use cases. And be sure to check the Tutorials section in the docs.

And of course, the Community!

We also have a YouTube channel where we upload solutions to a specific use case from time to time. If you're new to the product and scripting, I'd recommend this webinar.

If I have helped you with my first answer, please accept it to raise its visibility.

Cheers,
Helmy

Hi @Helmy Ibrahim _Adaptavist_ ,

How do I get this to work with a Select List (Cascading)? Only what is in the parent element (first dropdown) counts as a trigger. The content of the child elements should have no influence.

Thanks
