@haiyaner ,

can you please explain in details. 

On change option in custom field A, do you want to change option in custom field B or select different value in custom field B ?

Please have look at custom field type cascade select field. Whether this will meet your requirement.

There is a custom field type Select list (Cascading). You can create a custom field with this type and you can add options for this field.

I realize this is an old thread but, I'd like to suggest another option depending upon the data needs:

  • Automation cleanup / validation

The cascading field is perfect if the two fields are related (state -> city).  But if they aren't closely related like supplier and product, they should be 2 separate fields.  Then, as part of an automation rule, the administrator can enforce the business rules (like supplier A only does 5 specific products, supplier B does all but 3, supplier C does 8 products altogether the 5 supplier A handles and the 3 B doesn't).  Based on the automation, the issue could be re-assigned back, cleaned up automatically, etc.

@Sreenivasaraju P Thanks, change the options for one field, and then the other field changes. The control you're talking about seems to be fixed on cascaded just in these two fields.  For example, I chose Medium in the Priority field,and the data for Description field has changed,Can you do this in jira?

You will need some (hard to maintain and much harder to make work everywhere) javascript or something like the functions in the Behaviours part of Scriptrunner.  That enables you to change values in on-screen fields depending on other values.  (Note, because I work for Adaptavist, that's the first one I reach for.  I don't know of other apps that might be able to do that.  Native Jira does not support it)
