Scriptrunner Behaviour

Volodymyr

Good afternoon,
I was given a request asking for the customfield (select list (single choice)) to become (multiple choices) for two issue types, and for all others to remain single choice. Could someone tell me if this can be done using Scriptrunner Behaviours and how?
I've seen methods like convertToMultiSelect and others, but have a problem with understanding how they work and how to make a multi-select choices from single choice.

At the moment the view screen shows one value (screenshot_1), when editing the field becomes multiple choices (screenshot_2), but when saving all values, only the last value remains in the field (screenshot_3).

Hi @Volodymyr

To answer your question, yes, you can do this by converting a Single-Line Text Field to either a Single-Select List or a Multi-Select List. You will need to use ScriptRunner's Behaviour and the Select List Conversion, i.e. use either the convertToSingleSelect or convertToMultiSelect option depending on your requirement.

Please refer to this ScriptRunner Documentation for more information and examples.

In regards to converting it to either single or multi-select based on the issue type, you will need to use the Behaviour Initialiser and use the issueContext to control the conversion, i.e. something like:-

if (issueContext.issueType.name == 'Bug') {
    getFieldByName("TextFieldB").convertToMultiSelect([ // <1>
        ajaxOptions: [
                url           : getBaseUrl() + "/rest/scriptrunner/latest/custom/githubRepoQuery", // <2>
                query         : true, // keep going back to the sever for each keystroke
                minQueryLength: 4, // >
                keyInputPeriod: 500, // <4>
                formatResponse: "general", // <5>
        ]
    ])
} else if (issueContext.issueType.name == 'Story') {
    getFieldByName("TextFieldB").convertToSingleSelect([ // <1>
        ajaxOptions: [
                url           : getBaseUrl() + "/rest/scriptrunner/latest/custom/githubRepoQuery", // <2>
                query         : true, // keep going back to the sever for each keystroke
                minQueryLength: 4, // >
                keyInputPeriod: 500, // <4>
                formatResponse: "general", // <5>
        ]
    ])    
}

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

Thank you and Kind regards,

Ram
