Cascading Custom Field Multi-select

Antoine_8zv3vb

Hello everyone, I am a bit annoyed because of a small problem ..
I created a custom field, type cascading and I would incorporate a multi-select on the second list, someone would have a solution to this problem?

Hoping to have been clear, and understandable.

You'll need code to do that - I'm not aware of any add-ons that provide such a field directly. This is not something you can bodge with javascript on a cascading select as the field physically stores a single option, you will need a new field type for it.

If you've got behaviours (from Script Runner add-on) or another add-on that can link fields, you could have a single-select and a multiselect linked together to behave a lot like a cascading multi-select.

Hi Antoine,

There is no native way to do that, as the native cascading selects are not multiple.

Regards,

Peter

Thank you for your detailed answer, I'll see what I can do, if it ends I will inform on this post.

Thanks for your answer

By the way, Peter's answer has just made me realise that I have made an assumption that you wanted a particular result.

He's suggested the "multi level cascading select" - this is a good option, but still only has one value stored. I've assumed you wanted to select many options in the second list.

In case that's not clear, let's say you look at a normal cascading select:

First column option

Second column option

State

<none>

Ohio
Washington
Texas

County

<none>
Berkshire
Northamptonshire
Lancashire

In this, you can only end up storing one value - a single one of the eight options in the second column

What I think you asked for is

col 1

col 2

State

<none>

Ohio
Washington
Texas

County

<none>
Berkshire
Northamptonshire
Lancashire

Storing several options together - County:Berkshire, County:Lancashire aand State:Ohio all in the same field.

What the Multi-level thing does is give you more layers. But it still stores a single answer.

col 1	col 2	col 3	col 4

What I am looking it would for example have in the end the values of "Washington" and "Ohio".

The first list will be a single select list, and the second list will be a multi-select list.

I wish I could try it but I am on Jira Cloud

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Yes, I'm afraid Cloud can't/won't support it.

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist- hello Nic, confirmed that MLCS add on doesn't work on Jira cloud.

Do you know how do we achieve this? could the ScriptRunner for Jira cloud help this? or coding with Jira cloud api?

thanks!
