Using ConfiForms to set multiple value in a custom Jira field

Question

Hello, looking for a way to insert multiple values in one Jira custom field.

The Jira custom field has TWO values, I am able to insert the first one, not sure how I can insert the child value. I did following

the custom fields details is like below--

{ "id": "customfield_30000", "name": "Task/Type", "custom": true, "orderable": true, "navigable": true, "searchable": true, "clauseNames": [ "cf[30000]", "Task/Type" ], "schema": { "type": "option-with-child", "custom": "com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:cascadingselect", "customId": 30000 } },

and the Jira ticket look like below--

Has the fist value of "Release and Deploy" and Child value as "Build"

For the first_value of Task/Type I am doing--

AND in IFTTT integration rule

"customfield_30000":{ "value": "[entry.TaskType.escapeJSON]},

How I can insert second value (child value as entry.TaskTypeChild  ) in that customfield_30000. What will be IFTTT integration rule?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Md Zahidul Haque

Take a look at this https://community.atlassian.com/t5/App-Central-questions/How-to-set-a-value-to-cascade-child-field-via-JIRA-Rest-API/qaq-p/1931558

Hope it helps

PS, we have also added support for such fields in ConfiForms, if you ever decide to built one - https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/How+to+configure+and+use+the+Jira+Select+Field+in+ConfiForms
