Limit User Select List Using Behaviors

Question

As we know in Jira you can't have multiple contexts for a given Project for different Issue Types. I have the need to limit the selectable users for a User Select List based on Issue Type and/or Components.

Does anyone know a way to script in a Behaviors using Adaptavist's plugin Scriptrunner, to limit the selectable users based off of another field?

Ex: If Field1 has the value of "One" then only users in group "Group1" can be selected but if in Field1 that value is "Two" then only users in the Project Role "Role1" can be selected?

Thank you all in advance!

Hi @Joshua Kohn

To answer your question, no it is not doable because Jira controls it. This question has already been asked and answered previously in this Community Post.

This is why I have given you the alternative to using the validator to restrict the number of users.

You can, however, further enhance the code to include other conditions, e.g. restrict the user's Role or Group for the error message to work accordingly.

Thank you and Kind regards,

Ram

Thank you @Ram Kumar Aravindakshan _Adaptavist_ . While that was very informative, that was not what I was looking for.

My question is if there is a way to limit the users available for picking when browsing for users under a multi-user picker. Ideally from a group or a role.

Thank you!
