How to refresh custom field after options are updated

Engin Yorgancıoglu

Hello,

Using a ScriptRunner behaviour, I can update the options of a custom field programmatically, based on the value of another field . However there is one problem: I can only see the new options after I close and re-open the same screen (Create).

Is there a way to be able to see the new options right away?

It could also be about the way I update the options. Please see the code below. It clears all previous values and adds new options (fetched from an external web service).

def setCustomFieldOptions(fieldConfig, newItems) {
    // delete old list
    def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getOptionsManager();
    optionsManager.removeCustomFieldConfigOptions(fieldConfig);

    // populate field options
    def newSeqId = 0;
    for (String item : newItems) {
        optionsManager.createOption(fieldConfig, null, newSeqId++, item);
    }
}

 

Thanks for any help.

hi there,

Unfortunately not, when you create new options the screen has to be reloaded. That's when Jira populates the form fields.

Why do you have to keep updating the custom field options? This overrides previous custom field data. I mean I'm sure you have a good reason, just wondering.
