Apply Script to user editable field

[David Doria]

Is it possible to make a 'Select List (multiple choices)' field that a user can interact with but is also controlled by a script? For example, I want a parent issue to "inherit" the selections of a field of its children if it has any, but if it does not, then allow the user be able to edit the field as normal.

I looked at Behaviors, but those appear to apply only on "Screens". I have a constraint that I also want this field to be "live" in Structure, where there is no such "Screen" on which the Behavior would apply.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

David

Hey @Wajahat Gul ,

If you issue will go from Unassigned to Assigned only once, perhaps you could try creating a custom listener that listens to the Issue Assigned event with the below script:-

def change = event?.getChangeLog()?.getRelated("ChildChangeItem")?.find {it.field == "assignee"}

if(change) {
    if (change.oldstring == null && change.newstring != null) {
        //Set Date here
    }
}

The script will check if the Assignee was changed from Unassigned to a specific user and then setting the date.

Of course, if ever your issue goes back to Unassigned and then assigned again, the date will change again.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
