Show Specific Fields and Hide Existing Ones Based on Epic Link Value Using Groovy Script"

Question

Hi Team,

How can I write a Groovy script(behaviours) that checks if the Epic Link value is equal to a certain value, and if so, makes specific fields visible while hiding the existing ones?

Please help.

Best Regards

Hi @Nema_ Sakshi

I have tested below script on my DC instance, it works well.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FormField

// Get the current form fields
def epicLinkField = getFieldById(getFieldChanged()) // Epic Link
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

// Field keys to be shown or hidden
def fieldToShow = getFieldByName("Cost") // Replace with your field name to show
def fieldToHide = getFieldByName("Benefit") // Replace with your field name to hide

// Get the current value of the Epic Link field
def epicLinkValue = epicLinkField.getValue()

// Define the target epic key for the condition
def targetEpicKey = "KISHAN-07" // Replace with your Epic issue key

// If the Epic Link value matches the target key, show specific fields and hide others
if (epicLinkValue == targetEpicKey) 
{
// Show certain fields
fieldToShow.setHidden(false)

// Hide the other fields
fieldToHide.setHidden(true)
} 
else 
{
// Default behavior: show or hide as per your requirements
fieldToShow.setHidden(false)
fieldToHide.setHidden(false)
}

In this example, its checking if the issue has KISHAN-07 as its EPIC Link, if yes, it hides Benefit field and shows Cost field, else, it shows both the fields. Hope this helps you to get started.
