How to limit field options based on issue type

Scott Federman June 30, 2022

I have multiple issue types in project. Each issue type has it own set of services that pertain to it. Services is a single select dropdown field. How can I limit the field options to only show the options relevant to the specific issue type?

Hi @Scott Federman,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

You could do this by setting up a custom field context for each issue type, that way you can control what values are available for each issue type.

@Mikael Sandberg  Thank you. Unfortunately you can only have one context per project. I wouldn't be able to create multiple contexts for one project based on issue type.

 Solved: Hi, I need to show different values for same field based in the issue type. From as I know, this can be done using Behaviors.

@Bobby Messinger you are correct, but behaviours doesn't exist in cloud.

My bad, I missed the part about single project. In that case you would have look for an app like Elements Connect and setup a dependency to the issue type field, not sure if it works on the JSM portal or not.

@Bobby Messinger

I am using Jira Data Center version, if this possible through behaviours, can you provide a sample code?
