Hi all,
Has anyone, recently, migrated cascading fields to a single select field? I have seen some old posts from https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Copy-Cascading-Select-value-to-Single-Select-field/qaq-p/361532 that look like it may work, but the solution didn't work as expected. I can try spending more time to fiddle with it, but I thought I would ask the question in case someone else had a similar experience.
Reason I am doing this:
- My team wants support for typeahead and cascading fields doesn't play nicely with typeahead.
- Note: If someone has a solution to getting typeahead working nicely with Script runner behaviors that would also suffice (and make my life easier)
Assumptions and Requirements:
- History of the cascading field isn't important
- One off mass update
- JQL support would be great, but I can pull that from the old post above if necessary
- Concat the cascading field when migrating
-- Given (cascading): L1: Applications, L2: Foo
-- Expected (single) : Applications Foo
-- Given (cascading): L1: Systems, L2: None
-- Expected (single): Systems
-- Given (cascading): Empty (i.e. field isn't filled out)
-- Expected (single): Empty (i.e. field isn't filled out. flexible on this though if it will help future people because I can bulk edit and wipe the field away)
Cheers,
Dorian
