dispaly a field base on a condition

Diallo_vsxdmh

Hello everyone,

I have two checkbox fields and I want to display them based on the value of another field. Is this possible?

It's possible with JSM, but I don't know if it's possible with Jira.

For example, if the reference field has the value x, display the desired field.

Hey @Diallo

Well in JSM yes you can configure that in Forms.

In JSW there's no possibility to do that.

You heard about Forms?

Yes as i said, in JSM (Jira Service Management)

but there's no function in native JSW (Jira Software/Work Management).

actually i want to give users the ability to make a choice based on services. We offer many services, as well as a portfolio of epics. When we create epics for tasks in the services space, they are linked to the corresponding epic in the portfolio.

These epics are identified by a field indicating the service and another field indicating the stage of development.

Therefore, I want to display a conditional selection based on the content of these two fields.

This is done using JMWE, but it can only return plain text, not a selection list

I don't know if you any workaround suggestions to offer me

Hi Diallo,

The only way I know of to be able to do this with a third part app like ScriptRunner Behaviours.

Hi @Diallo

Yes, this scenario can be achieved in Jira Software.

Atlassian provides a capability called UI Modifications in Jira. To implement this, you currently need to use a third-party app. One of the best-known options is ScriptRunner, which offers Behaviours specifically for this kind of requirement.

That said, using ScriptRunner usually means learning how to script behaviours and investing some time to build and maintain the solution.

At our company, we offer a zero-code app that lets you achieve the same outcome in under 2 minutes.

Here is a short showcase of how it works (Due Date displayed when Priority = High or Highest, otherwise hidden):

Our app supports many different condition types, including:

checking field values
checking permissions
checking linked work items

You can also configure different field modifications (show, hide, make reuqired, make read only, set value, set name, change options....)

Our app VIP.LEAN Behaviours Builder (Free trial here) supports the full range of UI Modification capabilities available in Jira Cloud, with support levels that vary by project and work item type. We also continuously keep up with Atlassian’s latest improvements.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions — we’d be happy to help.

Best Regards, Wajdi

Hello @Diallo

You mentioned that you are using JMWE. Have you looked at its free companion product - Live Fields?

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1235961/live-fields-for-jira-cloud?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

Live Fields provides similar functionality to ScriptRunner Behaviours. Like Behaviours, which is free but requires ScriptRunner, Live fields is free but requires JMWE (or Powerscripts).

You can use Live Fields scripting to show and hide options in a Select List based on values from other fields.

Welcome!
