Scriptrunner: get cascading list values then hide and require based on selection

Shelli Kleman

ScriptRunner Behavior  

Installed version 6.58.0 using Jira DC

I've tried every combo I can think of to get this to work based on the parent and child selection in a cascading field, but it only checks the parent, not the child. 

This one didn't work at all. https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/use-a-cascading-select-list-to-validate-an-action-on-an-issue

//If Requested By DevTeam = Art/Exterior Art then don't hide and make required

def cascadecustomField = getFieldByName("Requested By DevTeam")
def selectedOptions = cascadecustomField.getValue() as Map
def ParentOption = selectedOptions.get(0).toString()
def ChildOption = selectedOptions.get(0).toString()

// field we want hidden unless ARt/Exterior Art is selected 
def hiddenField = getFieldByName("Zone")

if(ParentOption == "Art" && ChildOption == "Exterior Art"){
hiddenField.setHidden(false)
hiddenField.setRequired(true)
}
else
hiddenField.setHidden(true)
hiddenField.setRequired(false)

Hi @Shelli Kleman

After going through your description, I suspect you are encountering the Bug SRJIRA-6113, where the Child value of the Cascading Select List cannot be obtained.

A fix for this Bug has already been added but is currently awaiting release, possibly in the next ScriptRunner version.

Another point to note, in your code, you seem to be using the approach below to initialise the Cascading Select List field.

def cascadecustomField = getFieldByName("Requested By DevTeam")

If you require the Behaviour to trigger based on the if/else condition that you have added, it would be best to use a Server-Side Behaviour, and you should initialise the cascading field like:-

def cascadecustomField = getFieldById(fieldChanged)

This ensures that the Behaviour will trigger when the change is made to the Cascading Select List field.

I hope this helps to solve your question.

Thank you and Kind regards,
Ram
