Show text field based on selection in list

Question

Dear All,

I am a first time user of Jira Software and am currently trying to set up an issue with several fields, with some only being shown based on the value a user previously selects.

To implement this, I am using the ScriptRunner add-on. When trying to add a behaviour to a text field to make it appear only if a user selects a certain value from a list, i.e. a custom field, nothing happens.

Here is my code:

def reqValF= getFieldById('customfield_10501')
def depTxtF = getFieldById('customfield_10503')

def reqValF_val = reqValF.getValue()

if (reqValF_val == "New"){
 depTxtF.setHidden(false)
}else{
 depTxtF.setHidden(true)
}

Thank you!

It worked for me ..

for DSCGLOB project - if "ATO" field is 'Yes' then show text field "ATO Location"

def reqValF= getFieldById('customfield_56138')    //Field to check for input - New
def depTxtF = getFieldById('customfield_56432')  //Display this field if its New

def reqValF_val = reqValF.getValue()

if (reqValF_val == "Yes"){
depTxtF.setHidden(false)
}else{
depTxtF.setHidden(true)
}

Hi Joshua, unfortunately I could not figure out where the problem lies. I switched to JJupin now. Here it works.

Thanks again!

Hi Christina,

Yes, putting the script in the server side script seciton is fine. I have tested Jenna's code and it does work. However, I think you may just have the behaviour on the wrong field. The behaviour should be on the Select List (reqValF). The behaviour should not be on the text field that you want to hide.
