On a screen, put the values of the custom field on two columns

Laurent Bierge

Hi,

I have a big checkbox field (multi-select) and i wanted to know if it's possible to put the values of the field on two columns.

The field on the screen:

What i want it the same thing but with two columns of values, so that the field will take less space on the screen.

I'll be glad to hear any information regarding this

Regards,

Laurent

There's no way to do this natively.

You could try to find or write an add-on that provides the same field, but with a different layout (I've had no luck finding one), or you could try injecting javascript to re-arrange the screen, but that can be very painful.

If you don't feel like reading through all the comments. Here is the code. Make sure to change customfield_ID

<script language="javascript">
AJS.$(document).ready(function(){
 Array.from(document.body.getElementsByClassName("checkbox")).forEach(function (cbox) {
 if (cbox.getAttribute('name')=='customfield_#####') {
 cbox.parentNode.style.cssFloat='left';
 cbox.parentNode.style.width='20%';
 }
 });
});
</script>

Hi Britanny,

I've been through the thread and the solution seems to work !

But i'm barely starting to get comfortable with scriptrunner and i'm not a dev. I have absolutly no idea where i can put those lines !

On the thread, those lines are in the description of the field. Is it where i should put them ? (Kind of a hacking technique to inject code somewhere ?)

Anyway, thank you very much for your answer !

Regards,

Laurent

Hi Nic,

Thank you for your anwser !

My bad, it's specified in the thread that the JS should be added to description !

Thank you again !

Hi again,

Actually the injection suggested above works but only on none scripted screen. I name a none scripted screen, a screen with no behaviour associated to the fields in it.

It seems that the behaviour prevent Jira from looking in the description of the field.

Have you an idea how can i get both Behaviour and javascript injection work at the same time ?

Regards,

Laurent
