How to create an automation for a custom field when an option from another custom field is selected.

Swati Verma_yw8avy

I want to get a prompt screen asking to fill a custom field when an option from another customer field is selected during creation of an issue.

for example I have created an issue type call change which contain a customer field call Types of change which has an option of "Other". Now when someone selects the "Other" Option, I want a custom field/screen to prompt and ask to enter a value in another customer field call "Specify other type of change" (this field is free text).

 

what is the logic to create this automation? Kindly help me out.

Hello @Swati Verma 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

What you want is not within the scope of the Automation for Jira feature. That feature is not capable of responding on-demand to a change in a screen and presenting another prompt.

I think you might be able to do what you want with the Adaptavist Scriptrunner Behaviours app.
