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; } } }

Is there a way to have two custom fields associated to one another?

Parmiss Manesh

I am trying to have a custom field on my issue types, where based on its filled value, another custom field be automatically field.

e.g. If the custom field no.1 is a list of 'Colours', and custom field no.2 is a list of 'Fruits'. Once Red has been selected from 'Colours', then 'Fruits' should automatically be selected as Strawberry.

Is this possible at all?

Take a look at Jamies behaviours plugin:

You'll also find examples...

The closest solution for this is to have a javascript manipulat the DOM. You can find some examples searching through here.

Hi!!

Maybe you can use Database Custom Field (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.keplerrominfo.jira.plugins.databasecf) and a auxiliar database table with the relationship between your fields.

Each field queries can be configured to depend on other fields.

So you ll have a table like this:

Color    Fruit
------- --------
Orange   Orange
Red      Strawberry
Yellow   Banana
...      ...

And 2 queries, one for each field like these:

Select Color
from table

Select fruit
from table
where color=customfieldX

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tips everyone!

I don't imagine these options are available for the OnDeman version though, am I correct?

Parmiss Manesh

Thank you Mario! Would I be able to use a Database cutom file on the OnDemand version of JIRA too, or is this only available on the hosted version?

Hi there,

I think everyone's suggestions are very good but perhaps a little eager and they have missed you are in onDemand. Unfortunately it means none of them will work.

You could try injecting some javascript into the description of the first field that updates the value of the second field while you are on the edit screen. It's not supported by Atlassian and it doesn't work if the user has disabled javascript or is using a remote API but it might help

Here is an example relating to AoD and injecting JS into the field description

and some other helpful pages

We are using Database Custom Field in download version. I don t know if it s available for OnDemand version. Maybe you can ask the vendor.
