Changing an existing Custom Field (List) to Cascading list

Chacha20

Current setup: A custom field setup as Select List (multiple choices)

Proposed setup: Ideally change the field to a Select List (cascading) and then be able to add child options based on the value selected in the parent field.

Is this possible? Thank you

Unfortunately, you can't just change the type of a custom field once it's been created.

I thought that, if you had Scriptrunner, you could use the built-in script to copy values from a multi-select to a cascading select (after creating a new field), but it appears that it isn't supported between those field types.

Hi @Chacha20 ,

As per my knowledge, out of the box you can't modify the custom field type in the cloud version. On cloud version, you don't have database also.

Thank you for your prompt reply.

What would be the simplest way of moving data across between the old field and new field in this instance?

Matt Parks

@Chacha20 Do you have Scriptrunner? If so, you could write a script that would copy the values from the multi-select list to the first option in the cascading select list.

Thanks @Matt Parks but do not have it or able to get it

Any other option here to copy values between the custom fields?
