Is there a way to add checkboxes to a cascading select field?

jusgray

Greetings everyone,

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

I have a select list (cascading) that triggers a secondary select option. I want to be able to change the secondary selection option to checkboxes so users can select more than 1 item at a time.

For example, there is a field called "Department" with three options:

1) HR 2) Finance 3) IT

If a user chooses HR option, there should be three checkboxes to choose from like

1) task1 2) task2 3)task3

where more than 1 option can be checked off.

Hey jgray7,

I would recommend building Forms with conditional sections. This feature will help with the fields you would implement.

The documentation for adding conditional fields for forms in JSM cloud is available here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/add-a-conditional-field-to-your-project-using-forms-1188419353.html

Welcome to the community. Unfortunately, it is not possible out of the box (especially combining Cascade Select list format with Checkbox). You should search in Atlassian Marketplace for possible third party add-ons that will give you the functionality you are asking for - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/

Here is an existing enhancement request - https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-37665 that allows multi-select options against a Cascade Select datatype..

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your response and this appears it could work. However, I don't see how I can conditionally render those checkboxes. In the link your provided it shows an example but it's not giving me checkbox options for "Is any of".

Hey @jusgray

You would create the checkboxes field under the Section with the conditional formatting applied to it. An easy way to do this is to click on the Section, then click on the Add Field button > Checkboxes.

@jusgray -

Please keep in mind that if you are going with the FORM's route, you will not be able to map the input captured in the FORM back to your custom Cascade List JSM field. If that is not a concern, then you can always save the FORM as a PDF and attach it to your JSM issue as an attachment.

Again, the out of the box Cascade select option field only allows one-one (parent and child selection) where you cannot have one parent option with multiple child options (SELECTED) for the field itself.

I tried that before but still didn't give me the option to link those checkboxes with the dropdown. I tried clicking inside the section to add a field but that's not an option.

If I click the checboxes and click on "Linked Jira Field" it doesn't connect to my custom form but all forms fields created in "custom fields"

I see what you were talking about but unsure how to capture it as PDF. Is there a link to how to do this type of functionality?

@jusgray -

When you configure the FORM setup, go to "Settings" tab and enabled the option under the Form submission section - "Create and attach a PDF of the form to the issue".

Hope this helps.
