How to get the selected value from Database Values Selection Field using Javascript?

[Arunachalam Muthukumar]

Hi,

I have Database Values Selection Field in Create Issue Form. The values from the database are loaded properly in the control. I want to get the selected value from this custom field (when onchange event) and assign it to Summary Field .

I have tried the following javascript with SelectList field.

<script type="text/javascript">

prior = document.getElementById('customfield_10903');

if (prior)

{

prior.onchange=function() {

sum = document.getElementById('summary');

sum.value=prior.options[prior.selectedIndex].text;

}

}

The above code is properly working for SelectList field. I tried this approach for Database Selection Field. But it is not working. Do I need to use something different to get value from Database Selection Field?. Please Advice.

Thanks,

Arunachalam M.

you can try with this script if your jira version is 5.x and later

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {	
JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function (e, context) {	
	addSummary();
});
addSummary();
function addSummary(){			
		$('#customfield_10903').change(function() {	
			$('#summary').val($("#customfield_10903 option:selected").text());
		});
}
	
});
</script>

Thanks for your reply. I am using Jira 5.2 only. But this code is not working.

I have added some alert message after this line to test

JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function (e, context) {

alert('welcome');

It does not show the alert window. Please advice.

you load script as web-resource module and try.
