How to know value or ID of the option ?

Question

Hello All,

"For Cascading Select fields, you may either use the value of the option to be selected, no need to add the parent for childs. Or simply enter the ID of the option to be selected."

In postfunction I have a Select List (single choice) custom field needed to be updated to its single option 'A' when certain transition occurs. How do I know the value or ID of that option 'A' or do I accomplish to that custom field be populated with option 'A' when the transition occurs. Please help!

Thanks!

Works on cloud as well !

For those of you struggling finding the ID:

Navigate to the appropriate Custom field and its contexts

select "edit options"

At the appropriate "option" select "edit" at the action items

now check the URL

https://xxx.atlassian.net/secure/admin/EditCustomFieldOptions!edit.jspa?fieldConfigId=xxxxx&selectedValue=16198

just enter the value in your post function

Thats how I did it but also sometimes I cant get it to view in the footer bar so I open in new tab and stop it from loading, the ID is at the end of the URL

@Stuart Harris how did you get it to work ?

I figured out the ID of my field in the URL according to Jobins instructions

and set this to the transition:

'selectedValue=16198'

I tried also with the '

My Field shows "none" - due to testings you will get "none" if the value you set in the post function does not fit the value in the single-list
