How to know value or ID of the option ?

[Raj Domala]

Hello All,

"For Cascading Select fields, you may either use the value of the option to be selected, no need to add the parent for childs. Or simply enter the ID of the option to be selected."

In postfunction I have a Select List (single choice) custom field needed to be updated to its single option 'A' when certain transition occurs. How do I know the value or ID of that option 'A' or do I accomplish to that custom field be populated with option 'A' when the transition occurs. Please help!

Thanks!

Natively, JIRA supports this. I have done this with my instances as well, have you tried linking them with "Application Links"? There is also a "Whitelist" option but I have not explored that option.

So then https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Linking+to+Another+Application and https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Configuring+the+Whitelist?

Oh yeah, forgot to add the links. My JIRA instance is integrated with almost all the company's SCM Tools, including HP QC tool, another JIRA instance, CI tools etc. This worked pretty well for me.

I am assuming you're using SSL on both sites. If so I believe you'll need to import their certificate into your cacerts file for the app links to work. JIRA-Install-dir/jre/lib/security I am pretty sure that is where that file resides.
