How to show/disable fields based on select list value through behavior?

[Teja]

Hi,

I am trying to enable some fields when Roadmap Item = Tactical [single select type] else the fields will be disabled. Can someone help me and i tried below code doesn't seem working. 

def dropDown = getFieldById("customfield_15200")
if (dropDown.getValue() == "Tactical") {

def ccgroup = getFieldByName("Name")
 def ccgroup1 = getFieldByName("Solution")
 def ccgroup2 = getFieldByName("Theme/s") //Group
 def ccgroup3 = getFieldByName("Driver Category") 
 
 ccgroup.setReadOnly(false) 
 ccgroup1.setReadOnly(false)
 ccgroup2.setReadOnly(false)
 ccgroup3.setReadOnly(false) 
}

 Thanks

Your issue might be just with the "def myCustomField" line.

If you look carefully, you will see that you are calling "getCustomFieldObjectsByName", the plural on "Objects" means that you can potentially get more than one custom field with this method. Even when you only have 1 custom field that matches that name, you will still get a collection or array of custom fields and you have to identify which item in the collection is the custom field you care about.

If you are 100% sure that you only have 1 custom field with that name, you can just get item 0 from the collection.

def myCustomField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName("Custom multi-user field")[0]
