Hi @Kishore D

You can get a lot of script code from the Adaptavist Library.

Example below checks customfield with ID "12345" for "A value". If the value of the field matches "A value", another field (with ID 54321) will be set as hidden.

def testField = getFieldById("customfield_12345")

if(testField.getValue() == "A value"){
    getFieldById("customfield_54321").setHidden(true)
}

Hope this helps!

Hi @Kishore D

You can achieve this with Adaptavist ScriptRunner for Jira using the "Behaviours" functionality. (

You'll need some groovy knowledge for it, but they also have a library full of useful scripts. It's relatively easy and offers almost unlimited use cases.

Hope this helps.
Kind regards
