Trying to get a field to be hidden or not hidden depending on the selection of a Multi Select List

[Justin Mele]

**Already asked this question for a Single Select List, that I got to work, but found out we can't change it to a single select and need to make it work for a Multi Select List**

We are trying to make it where a field is hidden on a screen unless one of the two highlighted choices are picked:

Here is the code that I got to work for the Single Select List in the behaviour Is there anything I can do to make it work for the Multi Select List?:

def apc = getFieldByName("Analysis Provided to Client")
def severity = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())

def selectedOption = severity.getValue() as String

if (severity.getValue() == "No Impact/Task") {
apc.setHidden(true)
}else if(severity.getValue() == "4 - Affects non-critical function (low impact)") {
apc.setHidden(true)
} else if(severity.getValue() == "3 - Affects non-critical function (high impact)") {
apc.setHidden(true)
}else if(severity.getValue() == "N/A"){
apc.setHidden(true)
}else {
apc.setHidden (false)
}

What I like to do in this case is do something like this:

severity.setHelpText("$severity.value (${severity.value.getClass()})

This way, you'll see what you're working with based on what you select in your severity. I think you'll see an ArrayList of String values.

Then, you can simplify your code quite a bit.

Try this:

def apcVisibleWhenSeverities = [
   '1 - Affects critical function (low impact)',
   '2 - Affects critical function (high impact)'
]
def severityFld  = getFieldById(fieldChanged)
def apcFld       = getFieldByName("Analysis Provided to Client")
apcFld.setHidden(!severityFld.value.any{it in apcVisibleWhenSeverities})

Am I supposed to put the first line code in the behaviour with the other code? I tried the code and it did not work for me unfortunately

I am new to the whole behaviour piece of Jira and I am hoping that I didn't miss anything or set it up work.

Here is what I meant with that first lines... just to use some debug information

This gives me some information about what type of data we get from fld.value.

Then when I convert the script I gave you to work with my situation and fieldnames,

I'm able to show/hide my sprint field accordingly

Shown because I selected "products"

Hidden because products or mobile are not selected:

What you have should work. Just make sure the spelling of those severities and field names are correctly matched in the code.

Quick question do I want this behviour on the Multi Select List Field or the Analysis Provided to Client Field? 

[Justin Mele]

Got it to work! It was a simple wording issue that fixed it.

[Peter-Dave Sheehan]

Behaviours on a specific field are executed whenever that field is modified. So you'll want this behaviour code on the Severity field so it fires when you change the severity.
