based on Reporter, want to pre-populate options in custom field multi-select

Question

We want to build an issue type that allows a sub-set of our JIRA users to request additional permissions for all the other users in our system.

More specifically ...  If the reporterA is a member of AA-Approvers, we want them to be able to request that any other user be added to AA-Admin, AA-ReadWrite or AA-Read.  If a reporterAB is a member of AA-Approvers and BB-Approvers, there would be 6 groups they could add users to.   Let's say we have a custom multi-select field called "Add to these Groups".  In that mutli-select field are all of our groups.  But when the ReporterA creates the ticket, in the create screen, we only want groups AA-Admin, AA-ReadWrite and AA-Read to be available for selection.

Does this make sense?

We know how to find which *-Approvers groups the reporter is a member of.  What we're asking here is: how do we restrict the options in the "Add to these Groups" field?

All suggestions welcome.

We are still looking to solve this.  We have a perl script that given a username will return all the groups that they have approver privileges for.

We want all of those groups to be presented to the user in a JIRA ticket and let them choose one or more of them.

So we call the script with user "kate" and it returns groups "AA-1" and "AA-2".  Those are the only two groups that she can choose from when creating a ticket.  Despite the fact that we may have hundreds of groups.

Any ideas?
