How to get the selected value for a cascading select list?

Question

Hello All,

I'm trying to write a script where I can get the current values for the parent option and the child option in a cascading select list.

I have a custom field Impact and Urgency of cascading select type and the field priority. I need to set the priority based on the selected impact and urgency.

This is what I've been trying to do so far. But unfortunately this does not work for me.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.config.PriorityManager

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.priority.Priority

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Option

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.LazyLoadedOption

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.view.CustomFieldParams

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Option

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Options

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.config.FieldConfig

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.view.CustomFieldParams

def issue = event.getIssue();

//Issue issue = event.issue

MutableIssue mutableIssue = (MutableIssue) issue;

def priorityManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(PriorityManager)

def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getOptionsManager()

//CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

//CustomField cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Impact and Urgency")

CustomField cf = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Impact and Urgency" )

FieldConfig config = cf.getRelevantConfig(issue)

def options = optionsManager.getOptions(config)

def parentOption = options.find {it.value == "test"}

def childOption = parentOption?.childOptions?.find{it.value == "Core Services"}

def childOption2 = parentOption?.childOptions?.find{it.value == "Non-Core Services"}

def childOption3 = parentOption?.childOptions?.find{it.value == "Other Support Services"}

def parentOption1 = options.find {it.value == "VIP user/ Small group/ Department"}

def parentOption2 = options.find {it.value == "One user"}

if (parentOption== "test" && childOption=="Core Services")

{

mutableIssue.setPriorityId("1")

}

else if (parentOption== "test" && childOption=="Non-Core Services"){

mutableIssue.setPriorityId("10200")

}

else if (parentOption== "test" && childOption=="Other Support Services"){

mutableIssue.setPriorityId("10201")

}

else if (parentOption1== "VIP user/ Small group/ Department" && childOption=="Core Services") {

mutableIssue.setPriorityId("10201")

}

else if (parentOption1== "VIP user/ Small group/ Department" && childOption=="Other Support Services") {

mutableIssue.setPriorityId("10202")

}

else if (parentOption1== "VIP user/ Small group/ Department" && childOption=="Non-Core Services") {

mutableIssue.setPriorityId("10201")

}

else if (parentOption== "One user" && childOption=="Core Services") {

mutableIssue.setPriorityId("10201")

}

else if (parentOption== "One user" && childOption=="Non-Core Services") {

mutableIssue.setPriorityId("10202")

}

else if (parentOption== "One user" && childOption=="Other Support Services") {

mutableIssue.setPriorityId("10203")

}

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks,

Khushbu

Hello, there.

I've used a Custom SIL Field (see POWER CUSTOM FIELDS free plugin) to create a simple script for the exact case you're describing, set Priority value based on the inputs Impact and Urgency.

I've used yet another custom field also for the priority but of course you could use the system field. It is as simple as this:

string Impact = customfield_XXXXX;
string Urgency = customfield_XXXXX;
string Priority = "";

// Both Impact and Urgency are requested on issue creation. 
// High, Medium or Low are the avaliable options. Check definition of each sccenario.

if (Impact == "High") {
    if (Urgency == "High") {
        Priority = "Critical";
    }
    else {
        Priority = "Mayor";
    }
}

if (Impact == "Medium") {
    if (Urgency == "High") {
        Priority = "Critical";
    }
    else {
        Priority = "Mayor";
    }
}

if (Impact == "Low") {
    if (Urgency == "Low") {
        Priority = "Minor";
    }
    else {
        Priority = "Mayor";
    }
}

return Priority;

I hope it helps. It's not too fancy but it gets the job done.

Hello,

I want to use behaviour in order to set the Priority field based on the selected values of a cascading field type.

Is it possible to do so? Do you have a script for that?

Thanks,
Khushbu

You can get value from a cascading select like this: import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("custom field name") // parent value log.error(((Map) issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf)).get(null)) // child value log.error(((Map) issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf)).get("1"))
