I have defined two custom fields (Select List) in JIRA and I want to link these fields

Question

I want to link two Select List type Custom Fields in JIRA in such a manner that on the basis of the option selected in field 1, Options of field 2 appears.

Example: Say Field 1 is Food Type and options are Veg and Non-Veg.

Field 2 is Menu and it has names of various veg and non veg dishes in it.

Now in Field 1 when I select Veg, in Menu field all veg dishes should appear and in Field 1 when I select Non-Veg, in Menu field all non-veg dishes should appear. How do I configure this?

It's time to make a cascade select custom field. You can set up child values for each parent value in the field's setup settings. This field will show up on the screen as two different fields. There will be parent values in one field and kid values in the other. The parent value will decide which child values to show and you can see in any food menu site

You can not do it for 3 fields, only for 2 fields.

If you are not on Cloud version and you have Adaptivist Scriptrunner, then you can use Scriptrunner behaviours, but you would need to code.
