Write Behavior for Multi-select Field

Didem Seda Taş

Hello,

I have a field called Resource Type for Application multiple select list. There are RAM, CPU and Pod Number options in this area. I also have 3 numeric fields named Memory Size, Number of Processors and Pod Count.

My question is;
If I choose the RAM option from my multiple select list field named Resource Type for Application, I want the Memory Size field, if I choose CPU, Number of processors, and if I choose pod, I want the pod count field to appear. Since my Resource type for application field is multiselect, I did not know how to write a behavior.

Can anyone help?

So, you have 3 fields that should be visible or not based on a specific value in a multi-select list being selected or not.

Here is how I would write this:

def multiSelectFieldName = 'Resource Type for Application'
def multiSelectField = getFieldByName(multiSelectFieldName)
def selectedValues = multiSelectField.value as List

def valueFieldMap = [
RAM         : 'Memory Size',
CPU         : 'Number of Processors',
'POD Number': 'Pod Count'
]

valueFieldMap.each { value, fieldName ->
    def showField = selectedValues.contains(value)
    getFieldByName(fieldName).setHidden(!showField)
}

Hi @Didem Seda Taş

You will need to create a Server-Side Behaviour of the Multi-Select List for your requirement.

For the Behaviour code, you can try something like this:-

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours behaviours
def hardwareSelector = getFieldById(fieldChanged)
def hardwareSelectorValue = hardwareSelector.value.toString()

def memorySize = getFieldByName('Memory Size')
def numberOfProcessors = getFieldByName('Number of Processors')
def podCount = getFieldByName('POD Count')

memorySize.hidden = true
numberOfProcessors.hidden = true
podCount.hidden = true

if (hardwareSelectorValue == '[RAM]') {
    memorySize.hidden = false
}  else if (hardwareSelectorValue == '[CPU]') {
    numberOfProcessors.hidden = false
} else if (hardwareSelectorValue == '[POD Number]') {
    podCount.hidden = false
} else if (hardwareSelectorValue == '[RAM, CPU]') {
    memorySize.hidden = false
    numberOfProcessors.hidden = false
} else if (hardwareSelectorValue == '[RAM, POD Number]') {
    memorySize.hidden = false
    podCount.hidden = false
} else if (hardwareSelectorValue == '[CPU, POD Number]') {
    numberOfProcessors.hidden = false
    podCount.hidden = false
} else if (hardwareSelectorValue == '[RAM, CPU, POD Number]') {
    memorySize.hidden = false
    numberOfProcessors.hidden = false
    podCount.hidden = false
}

Please note that the sample working code provided is not 100% exact to your environment. Hence, you will need to modify the code accordingly.

Below is a print screen of the Behaviour configuration:-

Also, I am including a few test print screens:-

1. By default, when no option from the multi-select is picked, all the number fields are hidden, as shown in the image below:-

2. When any single option is selected, as shown in the images below, only a single field will be displayed, and the other fields will be hidden.

3. When multiple options are selected, multiple fields will be made visible, as shown in the images below:-

4. Finally, if you select all the options, all the fields will be visible as shown below:-

I hope this helps to solve your question.

Thank you and Kind regards,

Ram

It seems what you want can be provided by the Cascading select field. There are two levels for this field where the options in level 2 are conditioned by the choice made in level 1. Can you give that a try?

Hi @Didem Seda Taş Behaviour for Multi Select in avaiable on Adaptivist library , you can check this :-

Didem Seda Taş

Hi Jack, thank you very much for your interest

I'm not good at behavior. I don't know how to edit the way you mentioned

Jack Brickey

I think I may have misread your original post. My suggestion was not associated with Behaviors at all. Rather I was suggesting the use of a cascading select field type.

Hi Vikrant,

I couldn't find the script I was looking for. Thank you for your attention

Vikrant Yadav

Hi @Didem Seda Taş You only to do minor change in the given script, it's very simple :-

You need to apply Behaviour on Multi select list field :-

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours
def log = Logger.getLogger(getClass())

// Set log level
log.setLevel(Level.DEBUG)

def multiSelectField = getFieldByName('MultiSelectA')//multiselect list field name
def ram_size = getFieldByName("Memory Size")// do same for other two fields 

// Value for a multi-select field will always be a list even if "None" is selected
def multiSelectFieldValue = multiSelectField.value as List


// If value is RAM
if (multiSelectFieldValue == [RAM]) {
   ram_size.setHidden(false)

// If a given string is selected
} else if (multiSelectFieldValue == ["RAM" | "CPU"]) {
ram_size.setHidden(false)
cpu_size.setHidden(false)

// If more than 1 value is selected
} else if ( multiSelectFieldValue.size() > 2 ) {
ram_size.setHidden(false)
cpu_size.setHidden(false)

}

Try this it should work.

Hi again, I made the code you wrote below, but it didn't work, what could be the problem?

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours
def log = Logger.getLogger(getClass())

// Set log level
log.setLevel(Level.DEBUG)

def multiSelectField = getFieldByName('Resource type for application')//multiselect list field name
def ram_size = getFieldByName("İzin Tipi")// do same for other two fields 
def CPU = getFieldByName("İzin Sebebi")// do same for other two fields 
def Podsayısı = getFieldByName("HPA Metric")// do same for other two fields

 

// Value for a multi-select field will always be a list even if "None" is selected
def multiSelectFieldValue = multiSelectField.value as List


// If value is RAM
if (multiSelectFieldValue == ["RAM"]) {
ram_size.setHidden(false)
CPU.setHidden(true)
Podsayısı.setHidden(true)
}

// If value is CPU
if (multiSelectFieldValue == ["CPU"]) {
ram_size.setHidden(true)
CPU.setHidden(false)
Podsayısı.setHidden(true)
}


// If value is RAM
if (multiSelectFieldValue == ["Pod Sayısı"]) {
ram_size.setHidden(true)
CPU.setHidden(true)
Podsayısı.setHidden(false)
}

 

// If a given string is selected
else if (multiSelectFieldValue == ["RAM" && "CPU"]) {
ram_size.setHidden(false)
CPU.setHidden(false)
Podsayısı.setHidden(true)

}

// If a given string is selected
else if (multiSelectFieldValue == ["RAM" && "Pod Sayısı"]) {
ram_size.setHidden(false)
CPU.setHidden(true)
Podsayısı.setHidden(false)

}


// If a given string is selected
else if (multiSelectFieldValue == ["Pod Sayısı" && "CPU"]) {
ram_size.setHidden(true)
CPU.setHidden(false)
Podsayısı.setHidden(false)

}

 

// If more than 1 value is selected
else if ( multiSelectFieldValue.size() > 2 ) {
ram_size.setHidden(false)
CPU.setHidden(false)
Podsayısı.setHidden(false)

}

Thank you very much Ram for your very detailed explanation. It helped a lot.

Hi Peter,

You always help me. I solved the problem on your page. Thank you very much again.

Have a nice day

@PD Sheehan -- This is wonderful, very elegant code.. Can this be applied to Jira service desk Portal too?

PD Sheehan

Yes, behaviors work pretty much just the same in jira as in service desk portal.

I have found some slight differences when dealing with getting values from Insight custom fields. There are some inconsistencies as to whether you get a string or a size-1 array when a single value is selected. One is a string, the other is an array, I don't remember which is which off the top of my head.
