Is there any way to create a custom field of type Multi Select, in Jira with Autocomplete Renderer?

Administrator156

I need to create a custom field something similar to the 'Affect version' field with AutoComplete, multiselect and drop down.

From the documentation it seems this is not possible, but please let me know if there is any way?

This type of field is not available as a custom field. But you can use some JavaScript to simulate it on a multi-select field.

1. Create a new multi select list field. Remember the custom field ID
2. Paste the below Javascript code in the description of that field in your field configuration (replace "customfield_10131" with your field ID)

 

<script type="text/javascript">
AJS.$("#customfield_10131 option[value='-1']").remove();
(function($){
   new AJS.MultiSelect({
      element: $("#customfield_10131"), itemAttrDisplayed: "label", errorMessage: AJS.params.multiselectComponentsError
   });
})(AJS.$);
</script>

 

It does not always work on page refreshes and not in some dialogs. Give it a try and see if it meets your needs.

Best regards,
