Behavior to add a description when multiple values are selected

[Mihai Mihai]

Hello,

We have a multi select list field with different values. It is called 'Tool/s' . (values are: JIRA, Confluence, Github , etc).

We want that a description is added to the 'description' field when certain values are selected in the 'Tool/s' field:

def Tools = getFieldByName("Tool/s")
def descField = getFieldById("description")

def toolsvalue = Tools.getValue()
if (toolsvalue.toString().contains("JIRA")) { // choose tools by name
descField.setHelpText("text added here.")
descField.setRequired(true)
} else if (toolsvalue.toString().contains("Github")) {
descField.setHelpText("a different help text ")
descField.setRequired(true)
}
else if (toolsvalue.toString().contains("Confluence")) {
descField.setHelpText("confluence specific text")
descField.setRequired(true)
}
else {
descField.clearHelpText()
descField.setRequired(false)
}

This works when individual values are selected. But "Tool/s" is a multiple select list, and the above code does not work when both "JIRA" & "Confluence" are selected, or when all of the values are selected.

Please let me know if that would be possible, and how.

Thank you!

It's not working because else if only applies if previous if/else if were false

Something like this, obviously taking care of adding the correct format between texts

def finaltext = ""

if (toolsvalue.toString().contains("JIRA")) { // choose tools by name
finaltext = "text added here."
}

if (toolsvalue.toString().contains("Github")) {
finaltext = finaltext + "a different help text "
}
if (toolsvalue.toString().contains("Confluence")) {
finaltext = finaltext + "confluence specific text"
}
if (finaltext=="" {
descField.clearHelpText()
descField.setRequired(false)

}else{

descField.setHelpText(finaltext)
descField.setRequired(true)
}
