I have two custom fields of type Select List (Single choice),need to populate Field 2 at run time

Question

on Jira Cloud :

We have two custom fields , We want that when a user selects a value from list in custom filed 1 based on that the custom filed 2 should get populated i.e only items relevant to custom Filed 1 list value selected should show up in custom Field 2 List.

Both fields have values which are pre-stored in the list

Custom1 : Item 1, Item 2, Item 3, Item 8, Item 9 , Item 10

Custom 2 : Item 4, Item 5, Item 6 , Item 11, Item 12, Item 14

if user selects "Item 1" in Custom1 then only "Item 4" and "Item 6" should be available for selection in Custom 2 List field.

This requirement is while creating a issue .

Hello Alexey, I have 2 custom fields cfB (select list (single choice)) and cfC (text field (single line)). I introduced a new custom field cfA of type "select list(cascading)". Purpose is to get cfA as replacement of cfB and cfC. So I have to get history of cfB and cfC into cfA. cfB into 1st part of cfA and cfC into 2nd part of cfA?

What can I do? A specific workflow step with Post function "copy value to another field" doesn't do the trick. Is there another way? Thank you

Thanks Alex this helps me solve the issue.

You should use Select List (cascading). When you create the field there will be 2 fields created. You can set options for the first field and which options should be visible in the second field when an option in the first list is chosen.
