Adding Values to Cascading select List

Govardan Krishn

Hi,

we need to present a list of options to users, while creating an issue.
First they have to select from list A and then List B.
The options in list B are dependent on the values chosen in list A and to achieve this functionality we are using cascading select list, now my question is if we want to update the list, how we do it?

Do we have to go custome fields and manually update options values available?

Yes you do.

If you have a lot consider using https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/wiki/display/GRV/Built-In+Scripts#Built-InScripts-BulkImportCustomFieldValues

but once we migrate project to production, in case if we want to add a new option, then? Only Admin can go to Custome Field and new options?

Ramiro P

Yes, only the admin can add more options to the custom field.

Is there any other way that we can maintain this cascade select list?

if you have more options thend store it in any data base and populate with following plugin

So you are saying we can get the value options from another database? then we can create some UI or something to update that list in the database?

Consider using the Insight - Asset management app instead of the out of the box select lists.

All or selected users can be allowed to change / add / remove items (which is called objects in this app) in your select list, and they don't need to be jira admins to keep the lists up to date.
