Can custom field values be connected?

Question

I have 2 fields both drop down

Name_Short: (this is for creating issues)

AAA

BBB

CCC

Name_Long: (This is for the edit/view screen)

John Doe

John Smith

Tom Smith

When i select AAA in Name_Short i would like that John Doe is selected in Name_Long and Viceversa.

Is it possible?

Yes you can do it with workflow post functions and using different screens for create and view screens.

* Add both fields to your field configuration
* Add Name_Short to create screen
* Add Name_Long to view screen and every workflow transition screen for which you want it to be editable
* For create transition of your workflow add script post function that sets value of Name_Long based on Name_Short, you can check this documentation https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/builtin-scripts.html#_post_functions
