Can I set a custom field cascade select in Jira SERVER?

Julia October 26, 2021

I am using JIRA SERVER

 

I want to set a custom field that is a cascading select in automation for jira. I do NOT wish to copy it from another ticket / field. I just want to set the field using automation for jira in the Advanced Fields section. I am trying this but it won't work. Please help! 

 

{
"fields": {
"customfield_23592": { "value": "{{customfield_23592.Product Security}}"
}
}
}

Hi Julia,

If you want to refer to the cascading select field, you need to specify it this way:

"customfield_23592" : { "value": "parent_option1", "child": { "value" : "p1_child1"} }

 

You can get more information here, https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/advanced-field-editing-json/

Thank you so much! Since I didn't need to edit the child, this ended up working for me 

{
"fields": {
        "customfield_23592" : { "value": "Product Security" }
    }
}
}

 

Thank you!
