Change "Issue Type" based on custom "Cascading List" field

jira_admin_cu

Hi Team,

I need to change the "Issue Type" based on the custom "Cascading List" field. The code I am using is working correctly. When I change the custom field value to A - A1, the issue type also changes to A. However, the second value of the custom field, A1, is changing back to "None" instead of staying at A1. Is there a mistake in the script?

I utilized script runner behavior and server script.

 

 

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

import groovy.transform.BaseScript

import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.ISSUE_TYPE

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours behaviours

def issueType = getFieldById(ISSUE_TYPE)

def cascadecustomField = getFieldByName("Cascading Custom Field")

def selectedOptions = cascadecustomField.getValue() as Map

def ParentOption = selectedOptions.get(0).toString()

def ChildOption = selectedOptions.get(1).toString()

if(ParentOption == "A" && ChildOption == "A1")

{

  issueType.setFormValue('B')

}

if(ParentOption == "B" && ChildOption == "B1")

{

  issueType.setFormValue('B')

}

Hi @jira_admin_cu

For your requirement, you should modify your code to something like:-

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript
import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.ISSUE_TYPE

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours behaviours
def cascade = getFieldById(fieldChanged)
def cascadeValue = cascade.value
def issueType = getFieldById(ISSUE_TYPE)
def currentValue = []

if (cascadeValue == ['Story', 'Story 1']) {
 issueType.setFormValue('Story')
 currentValue = ['Story', 'Story 1']
} else if (cascadeValue == ['Bug', 'Bug 1']) {
 issueType.setFormValue('Bug')
 currentValue = ['Bug', 'Bug 1']
}

if (currentValue.size() > 0) {
 cascade.setFormValue(currentValue)
}

However, this is not an approach I would recommend. The reason is once the issue type has changed according to the option selected from the Cascading List, it will not be able to change again. You will need to create an issue from scratch.

It would be best to only set the Parent value of the cascading list as it is currently working.

I hope this helps to solve your question. :-)

Thank you and Kind regards,

Ram
