Changing default value or the list of values of a selection list custom field based on the user logged in

Meenakshi Nainw

I have a list of values in custom field of type selection list.

Based on the user logged in, I want to change the default selected value of that field.

Also, based on the user logged in,  I want to change the list of values in that field.

Is it possible?

Hi @Meenakshi Nainwal,

This feature is not available out of the box in JIRA. I have an idea on how to solve it but I didn't try it.

You could add the following script to the announcement banner:

<script type="text/javascript">
(function($){ jQuery(document).ready(function($){ 
    $(function(){
   
        $.get(AJS.params.baseURL + "/rest/auth/1/session", function (data) {
            userName = data.name;
   
            // check groups
            $.get(AJS.params.baseURL + "/rest/api/2/user", {username: userName, expand: "groups"}, function (data) {
                var groups = data.groups;
                var groupItems = jQuery.map(groups.items, function (val, j) {
if (val.name == "jira-administrators"){
var select = document.getElementById('customfield_10617');select.options.remove(0);//removes the first option
}
return val.name});
</script>

 

The above script should remove the first option of the custom field if the logged in user is in jira-administrators group. You can tweak it to do more options with the custom field.
