limit list options available in field B once the list field A is set.

Question

Hello,

I’m trying to create my first script. (using script runner/behaviors).

Scenario:

2 list fields. Example:

Field 1: Account Group:

Group1

Gropu2

Group2

Field 2: Account Name:

Name1

Name11

Name111

Name2

Name22

Name 3

Name 33

The idea is,

if the user selects “Group1” in the first field (account Group),

The second field must show only  Name1, Name11 and Name111 as available options.

if the user selects “Group2” in the first field (account Group),

The second field must show only  Name2, Name22 as available options.

if the user selects “Group3” in the first field (account Group),

The second field must show only  Name3, Name33 and Name333 as available options.

Many thanks.

You didn't say you wanted multi-select earlier.  Cascading select won't do that, so yes, use the scripts.

"I'd actually recommend not doing this with a Script"  Why?

A cascading select list, do not allow me to select more than 1 option.

I need to be able to select more than 1 option in the second field.

Any other solution?

They're both doing much the same thing, just with slightly different inputs.

I'd actually recommend not doing this with a Script.  Your need is met by a cascading-select list, which you can do off-the-shelf without scripting.
