Aui-select2 is not a function on a customfield

Alberto de Ávila Hernández

Hi all:

We are experiencing an issue in a Jira Server. We are trying to style a list customfield with aui-select2. To do that, we have added to the customfield description the following code:

<script type="text/javascript">
AJS.$("#customfield_10201").auiSelect2();
</script>

On a local Jira server with version 7.12.1, without any plugin, this code works fine but in a production Jira server, with version 7.11.2 it fails and shows the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: AJS.$(...).auiSelect2 is not a function

I've checked in the production environment that the Atlassian UI plugin is installed and enabled.  

The AJS version is 7.9.0

Looking for a solution we've found that some users proprose to add the following code to a velocity template:

<span>$webResourceManager</span><span>.</span><span>requireResource</span><span>(</span><span>"com.atlassian.auiplugin:aui-select2"</span><span>)</span>

 but, why is it working on our dev instance wihtout doing anything but not in our production instance? 

Regards!

Finally we have found that installing a free plugin, this allow us to execute the javascript code in the creation screen. The plugin is Custom Select List
