Show/Hide field Based Cascading field selection

John River

I have a cascading field called human.

When a user selects country on the first part of the cascading field. and selects Doctor on the second part of the cascading field. The field Total need to appear. For any other option, the total field must be hidden. I am using scriptrunner behaviour for this one.

Hello,

You should use ScriptRunner behaviours

1. Create a behaviour and add the cascading custom field to the behaviour.

2. Write a script for the added cascading field. Your script should be like this:

def cascField = getFieldByName("cascading field name")

def hiddenField = getFieldByName("name of your hidden field")

if (cascField.getValue().get("1") == "your value") {

      hiddenField.setHidden(true)

}

else {

   hiddenField.setHidden(false)

}

Hi @Alexey Matveev

I get an error on the if condition

The error is: Please check if the declared type is right and if the method exists

David STOCKY

def cascField = getFieldByName("cascading field name")
def hiddenField = getFieldByName("name of your hidden field")

//hide by default
hiddenField.setHidden(false)

//create map
Map cfVal = cascade.getValue() as Map
if (cfVal){
if (cfVal.get(0) == "your value") {
hiddenField.setHidden(true)
}
}

David STOCKY

you need to declare a map variable

John River

hi @David STOCKY

This is my script

Other = getFieldById("customfield_10177")

if(status == "Apollo")

{ apolloCategory.setHidden(false)

apolloCategory.setRequired(true)

apolloCategory.setHelpText("The Apollo category field is required, please provide information")

def cascField = getFieldByName("Apollo Category")
//create map

Map cfVal = cascField.getValue() as Map

if(cfVal)

{

if(cfVal.get(0) == "Other") {

Other.setHidden(true) }

}

There are no errors now, but the other field is just not coming up or hidding

I just checked the code. It turned out that cascading fields work differently in behaviours. The value is actually an ArrayList. That is why your script should look like this:

def cascField = getFieldByName("cascading field name")

def hiddenField = getFieldByName("name of your hidden field")

def value = cascField.getValue() as ArrayList<String>

if (value.size() == 2 && value.get("1") == "your value") {

      hiddenField.setHidden(true)

}

else {

   hiddenField.setHidden(false)

}

I tried it and I get an error on the value.get("1") and I think this is because get only takes an integer.

Hello can anyone help me getting the cascading value in a custom field in behaviors.

My custom field has values in the following way:

Category[A,B,C]

If A is selected then the cascading list will show more values [A1,A2,A3].

I declared a Map variable and i tried many approaches. But I am going wrong somewhere. Would really appreciate some help here.

Eshwar Palem

@Ramya Mani,

Did you resolve this? If yes, I would like to know the approach. The script is working fine, but the behaivours functionality seems to be incorrect in case of cascading,as it is not waiting for the child option to get selected and taking the first default child value.

Is there anything which I am doing? Please help me out here.

Hi All,

Following code has worked for me but ensure the cascading custom field is available in the screen you are working on,

For Behaviour:

def cfield = getFieldByName("cascading custom field name")
Map mapValue = cfield.getValue() as Map
def value1 = mapValue.get(0).toString()
def value2 = mapValue.get(0).toString()

For Post Functions:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName('cascading custom field name').getAt(0)
def cstFldVlue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)

Thanks

Hi Suresh,

Can you please share the complete behaviour code that you have implemented to pull in the desired result.
