Extended Multiselect Custom Field

[V]

I am developing an extended multiselect field. If i use same velocity template (view-multiselect.vm) for view and edit screen, why the output is different on view and edit screen?

View screen displays option values and edit screen displays option id.

<resource type="velocity" name="view" location="templates/plugins/fields/view/view-multiselect.vm"/>
<resource type="velocity" name="edit" location="templates/plugins/fields/view/view-multiselect.vm"/>

I want to get values on edit issue screen.

Why would you use the same vm file?

Use the edit one (different vm ) for the Edit and the View one which you have for view.

I think you will need to modify your edit-vm file .

below is an example of edit view customfield

<select name="$customField.id" id="$customField.id" multiple size="5">
        <option value="-1">None</option>
    #foreach ($option in $options)
            <option value="$option.id">$option.name</option>
    #end
</select>

Thanks Mizan.

I want to display selected multiselect values for an Issue on edit screen.

As i mentioned, i used same template (templates/plugins/fields/view/view-multiselect.vm) for edit and view. $value contains different value on edit and view template.

On create it contains list of option values from Issue and on edit it contains list of option ids from Issue. I am not overriding getValueFromIssue method. Any idea how can i get selected option values in place of ID on edit screen?

can you provide the edit vm file ? may be you are displaying the ids instead of values ...
