How to create multiple configuration schemes within the same project?

Question

There is a custom select list field, where we would like the list of options to be different depending on the issue type, within a project.

No worries setting up a custom field configuration scheme for the first issue type.

However Jira is not letting us define a other scheme for the same project again.

So are we stuck with only having one set of options, per custom field, per project?

I'd rather not create many custom fields for this, nor have one option list with alllll of the options (which don't make sense on the wrong issue type), and we cannot use the default scheme because of its global presence.

Thanks everyone!

Thank you @Gokaraju gopi I believe that will work (and we do have ScriptRunner) and will give it a whirl on Monday.

I'm just (continually) confused / disappointed that's it's not something more natively supported in Jira, since embedding data in scripts is bad practice and not transparent.

This could be possible with script runner behaviour. You can write this behaviour for issue type

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

def selectFieldName = "custom field name"

def issuetype = getIssueContext().getIssueType().name

def selectField = getFieldByName(selectFieldName)

// Getting select field options
def selectCustomField = customFieldManager.customFieldObjects.findByName(selectFieldName)
def selectConfig = selectCustomField.getRelevantConfig(issueContext)
def selectOptions = ComponentAccessor.optionsManager.getOptions(selectConfig)

if(issuetype.contains("story")) {

selectField.setFieldOptions(selectOptions.findAll { it.value in ['option1','option2'])

} else if(issuetype.contains("bug")) {

selectField.setFieldOptions(selectOptions.findAll { it.value in ['option3','option4'])

}
