Scriptrunner Behaviour om a cascading select list field -getFieldById(fieldChanged)

[shoshana_uzan]

Hi,

I wrote a script in the behavior environment for a cascade list field
The beginning of the code:

-------------

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager

def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.optionsManager

def outcomeField = getFieldById(fieldChanged)

def selectedOptions = outcomeField.getValue() as Map

def ParentOption = selectedOptions.get(0).toString()

def ChildOption = selectedOptions.get(1).toString()

def indicatorsField = getFieldByName("Resource")

// Get the all the options of Indicators

def indicatorsCF = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName("Resource")[0]

def config = indicatorsCF.getRelevantConfig(getIssueContext())

def options = optionsManager.getOptions(config)

-------------

But the script is executed only when both field values change (the Parent and the Child)

Is there a solution for the script to execute even when only the Parent value of the field changes?

Can anyone help me?

Regards, 

Shoshi

Hi @shoshana_uzan

If you want to trigger the Behaviour when the Parent option of the Cascading List is selected, you can use the approach shown in the sample working code below:-

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours behaviours
def sampleCascade = getFieldById(fieldChanged)
def sampleCascadeValue = sampleCascade.value

def sampleText = getFieldByName('Sample Text')
sampleText.formValue = ''

if (sampleCascadeValue == ['Option 1']) {
    sampleText.setFormValue("Option 1 Selected")
} else if (sampleCascadeValue == ['Option 2']) {
    sampleText.setFormValue("Option 2 Selected")
} else if (sampleCascadeValue == ['Option 3']) {
    sampleText.setFormValue("Option 3 Selected")
}

Please note that the sample working code above is not 100% exact to your environment. Hence, you will need to make the required modifications.

Below is a screenshot of the Server-Side Behaviour configuration:-

Below are a couple of test screenshots for your reference:-

1. When the Create Issue dialog first loads, no option from the Cascading List is selected. Hence, as expected, the Sample Text Field is not updated either.

2. If Option 1 is selected from the Parent option of the Cascading Select List, the value in the Text Field is set to Option 1 Selected, as shown below.

3. If Option 2 is selected from the Parent option of the Cascading Select List, the value in the Text Field is set to Option 2 Selected, as shown below.

4. If Option 1 is selected from the Parent option of the Cascading Select List, the value in the Text Field is set to Option 3 Selected, as shown below.

I hope this helps to solve your question. :-)

Thank you and Kind regards,

Ram
