Is this how Checkbox and Radio Button fields are supposed to work in Jira?

[James Malgieri]

We are using Jira 8.13.0 Server.

I have wanted to use checkbox and radio button custom fields in JIRA but they do not behave in a way I am used to.  The only values that are visible are those that have been selected. A user cannot see the checkbox or radio button selection unless they go into the edit screen. Is this normal behavior in Jira?

I expected all values to be visible outside of an edit screen or edit pane.

What is seen after selecting field values:

Selecting values from the Radio Button Custom field:

Selecting values from the Checkbox custom field:

If the Checkbox or Radio Button selections are not visible there's not much point in having these two custom field types, is there?  I could just use a Select List Custom Field because it appears the Checkbox and Radio Button fields are behaving exactly like a Select list except instead of making a selection by clicking on the item I'm using a checkbox or button to make the selections.

JIRA doesn't expose the hooks you need to be able to do "edit validation".

Script runner does though - https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/wiki/display/GRV/Edit+Validators

Be aware that it is only a partial implementation though - because JIRA doesn't have the internal structure for edit validation, there are places where even the script runner can't do it - your validators will be ignored if you change issues in Agile or use bulk edit for example.

I didn't found the enable switch for the script listeners. Where can I do this? I have the latest version of script runner

This all got moved to 'Behaviors'. Go to Add-ons and select Behaviors on the left.
