Scriptrunner - Dynamic updates to field options in initial creation

Jordan Hauser

Hi,

I just recently downloaded scriptrunner for a variety of purposes. While searching online I came across Use the behaviour functionality of the script runner to show/hide fields - iDalko used for showing/hiding a field based on a selection. I adapted it to the fields I'm trying to interact with, and it functions.

This doesn't quite work as expected, I was looking for a way to live update the fields, so that in the initial issue creation screen, if they pick option 'b' from the first dropdown, a second dropdown appears.

The way it's currently set up, even if I change the value in the first dropdown, I have to submit the issue and then go back in and edit it to see the second field.

What am I missing here? I'm rather new to coding and I think this can be done

Hi @Jordan Hauser welcome on the community. yeah, it is doable. Can you share the script and configuration you use right now?

def dropDown = getFieldById("customfield_10500")
def conditionA = getFieldById("customfield_10501")

log.debug("dropdown value" + dropDown.getValue())
 
if (dropDown.getValue() == "a") {
    conditionA.setHidden(false);

} else {
    conditionA.setHidden(true);

     
}

We are running Jira 8.15 Server. The above script is what I was trying earlier, the same as from the link I provided, minus 'conditionB' and the associated things.

I'm just not sure what I'm missing to look things up.

You also need to configure behaviours propertly, what does your configuration look like?

The mapping is to the project board I am testing on, right now its looking at all issue types.

The workflow guide is referencing the issuetype in the project I am testing on.

I don't have an initialiser set up yet.

I added the field that is the parent in the 'Fields' section, and both the parent/child fields are in the server side script area.

Not sure what else you're referencing for configuring behaviors

Hi all

Anyone know how I can just get a script that will create a text box when I select "Other" from my dropdown list?

Really need help here?

Jordan Hauser

Do you have the scriptrunner plugin, is it a server instance or a cloud instance

If you have scriptrunner, you will be needing the 'behaviours' interface the plugin provides

Hi Jordan,

Yes I have script runner installed all I need is a simple empty text box to appear once I select “other” from my drop down menu.

Thanks

Kevin

Ok you have to create another field, as far as I understand it has to be a field.

You need to create a 'behaviour' in that section of scriptrunner. In that behaviour you need to map that behaviour to your project/workflow combination at the top.

Below the 'initialiser' section is where you can do things with specific fields. Add the field with the options in there.

At the bottom of that newly added field there should be some blue text 'add server side script'. Click it and it will bring up the script text entry box. I'm assuming you haven't done anything with the script editor, you can also write the code in there and reference the file in this spot.

In that server side script section for that field, input this code:

def dropDown = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())   //<---- the select field

def SOW = getFieldById("customfield_10202")    //<---- the one to show/hide
                               //^^^^^^^ CHANGE THIS TO THE NEW FIELD ID


if (dropDown.getValue() == "OTHER (ENTER IN LINE BELOW)") {
                           //^^^^^ THE EXACT WAY YOU TYPED THE OPTION
    SOW.setHidden(false);
} else {
    SOW.setHidden(true);
}
