Hi All,

I have JIRA Admin access, wherein i help a programme improvise their workflow and one of the leads has asked me if we can have the below functionality added. However i am unable to find where i can do this.

Functionality:

I have a custom field named "DBP Environment" which has dropdowns as mentioned below

* Production
* Production Support
* UAT
* SIT
* Other

The functionality that is required is if a user chooses the dropdown "Other" a free text field should generate to mention what Other is.

Hi @Saneeta Galbow

I’m Charlotte, a support engineer at Appfire and I’m here to help you.

Unfortunately, natively, you’ll not be able to do it dynamically.

In the app where my team works, Power Scripts, you can use the feature called Live Fields to do exactly what you are looking for.

In the Live Fields screen, you be able to build you own script, however the difference here is that the app provides different options of Templates, and there is one specifically for your need, it’s called Display Field Based on Custom Field Value:

After selecting the template, you just need to modify it to use the correct custom field ID. For more information on how to get the custom field ID, or about this feature in general, feel free to check our documentation about it here.

Please contact our support if you have any other questions about Live Fields, Power Scripts or this specific template.

We’ll be happy to help you! 😉

Sure!

1. Any app with with Jira expression based validator from the marketplace will do. My team developed Jira Expression Validator as part of Workflow Building Blocks for Jira, which you can utilize

2. For the second you need a Forge app that utlizes UI Modication API, there are couple of options: Script Runner Behaviours, Dynamic Forms, Field Rules - UI Modification
