Conditionally show a custom field based on a selected option in multi-select field.

Masa Janezic

Hi, 

I'm trying to achieve that a custom field only appears when a multi-select field contains a certain option. For that, I'm using Behaviours in Scriptrunner plugin from Adaptavist. 

I have used Behaviours before with a single select and tried using the same groovy script here but it doesn't do what I need. This is the script:

//customfield_12103 = multi-select
//customfield_12100 = checkbox field
//I want the checkbox field to apear only if the multi-select field contains "FreeRounds type" option.
def dropDown = getFieldById("customfield_12103")
def conditionA = getFieldById("customfield_12100")

log.debug("dropdown value" + dropDown.getValue())

if (dropDown.getValue() == "FreeRounds type") {
conditionA.setHidden(false);
conditionA.setRequired(false);
} else {
conditionA.setHidden(true);
conditionA.setRequired(false);
}

What it does, is that if I only select "FreeRounds type" option in my multi-select it works fine and the field of the same name appears:

However as soon as I add another option to this multi-select, the field "FreeRounds type" disappears:

I found that changing == to .contains would work so I changed the line 6 to:

if (dropDown.getValue().contains("FreeRounds type")) {

but that returns an error:

and the Behaviour loses its functionality entirely. The field is never hidden: 

I have searched around and couldn't find a working example for my case anywhere. I am no coder, can anyone please help me with this groovy script for multi-select field, please?

We're using:

• Jira Software v8.13.9
• Scriptrunner v6.30.2

Hi @Masa Janezic, and welcome to the community!

 

I think this modification might do the job:

//customfield_12103 = multi-select
//customfield_12100 = checkbox field
//I want the checkbox field to apear only if the multi-select field contains "FreeRounds type" option.
def dropDown = getFieldById("customfield_12103")
def conditionA = getFieldById("customfield_12100")

log.debug("dropdown value" + dropDown.getValue())

String[] options = dropDown.getValue() as String[]

if (options.contains("FreeRounds type") {
  conditionA.setHidden(false);
  conditionA.setRequired(false);
} else {
  conditionA.setHidden(true);
  conditionA.setRequired(false);
}

 In summary, cast the getValue() return to an array of String and verify that variable e\woth a  contains() method.

I hope it helps. If this answer helps solve the problem, please come back and mark this answer as solved to help other community members with the same challenge. If not, you are welcome to share your solution as well.
