On change of issue type, multi-select custom field does not behave like components/versions fields

Anere Goodness

Similar question was asked in this thread, https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/43534 before. But still hitting this issue after using the suggested answer, 

<script type="text/javascript">
(function($){
new AJS.MultiSelect({
element: $("#customfield_XXXXX"),
itemAttrDisplayed: "label",
errorMessage: AJS.params.multiselectComponentsError
});
})(AJS.$);
</script>

 

Any ideas how to fix this? Any help will be appreciated.

That answer is from 2012.  More recent versions of JIRA are preventing the injection of javascript because it breaks things in interesting ways (including introducing security holes).  You could try it in the announcement banner, but I'm not sure the code is valid any more, given its age.
