Visibility control for many checkbox fields

Hi!

We have many custom fields which types are checkbox, and uses can select any number of items within these fields. For users convenience, we'd like to control visibility of these fields.

We tried to use Dynamic Forms for Jira 5.0.5 (Server), but we coudn't get expected result.


Here is my example.

 

We made three custom fields as checkbox as follows.

  checkbox_A : items are [A1, A2, A3, ...]

  checkbox_B : items are [B1, B2, B3, ...]

  checkbox_C : items are [C1, C2, C3, ...]


Uses can select any number of items for each issue. For example, userX can select "A2", "B1" and "B2".

For controlling visibility of these three fields, we made one custom field which type was "Deviniti [Dynamic Forms] - Dynamic Select".

  selectBox : items are [A, B, C]
  (When item "A" is selected, checkbox_A is set to visible and others are set to invisible, and so on.)


We expected that userX can selects "A2", "B1" and "B2" by following operation.

select "A" of the selectBox, and checkbox_A is visible.
select "A2".
change the selectBox into "B", and checkbox_B is visible.
select "B1" and "B2".
Click "Update" button.


We got issue which "B1" and "B2" are selected, but "A2" is not selected.

It seems that selections of checkbox are reset when fields are set to invisible.

We also tried "Preserve Value" option both "on" and "off", but we got same results.

 

Is there any solutions or alternatives for this situation.

Thanks,
Noriaki.
