Copy value from cascading list to a single select list

[Alex Christensen]

I'm looking to copy the data of the first dropdown from the cascading dropdown list to another single select list field automatically. Is this possible? I have the JIRA Suite Utilities plugin installed as outlined here - when I use the "Copy Value From Other Field" post function after creating an issue, the value from the second dropdown populates the single select field.

Here's our use case:

• We have two fields.
  • "Module" - single select field
  • "Module / Subprocess" - cascading select list (first dropdown is Module, second is Subprocess)
• The cascading list is used for one issue type only - "subprocess" is dependent on the module, so this is the only way we can configure a list of options to appear based on which "module" was configured.
• I want the first dropdown's value only to be copied to the single select field.

Is this possible? Thanks for your help.

Yes. It is possible .

Two methods are there.

•  your own post function to copy filed A (Cascade first option ) to field B(single select). In this post function you can add configuration saying which value should get copied (from first drop / second drop down)
• Using java script you can copy filed A (Cascade first option ) to field B(single select)
