Autocomplete field based on multiselect customfield

Tomasz Bryla

Hi,

I have some multiselect custom field in my Jira. I would like to create another text field where the suggested values ​​would be values ​​from the multiple selection field.

E.g:
In field A there are values:
-xxx
-YYY
-ZZZ

When I enter X in field B, the value of XXX will be suggested, or the field will be populated by XXX.
I was looking for a solution but nothing came to my mind. Maybe it can be solved with Javascript script?

Since you're using Jira Server, check out this KB: How to enable Autocomplete Renderer for Multi-Select Custom Field in JIRA

It's an article that describes how you can use some javascript to turn this multiselect field into an autocomplete field.   This is technically not supported by Atlassian, but I did try this just a few month ago and it still appears to work in current Jira Server versions.

Sorry Jira Cloud users, I'm afraid that this kind of javascript hacking isn't currently possible in the Jira Cloud offerings.
