Make checkbox custom field options hide/visible depending on selections made in another field.

Question

Hi,

Is it possible to do this and how?

I have two multiple checkbox fields and options as below:

Field1---

---[] a

---[] b

---[] c

Field2---

---[] 1

---[] 2

---[] 3

---[] 4

---[] 5

---[] 6

Field2 options (1,2) are related to Field1 option (a)

Field2 options (3,4) are related to Field1 option (b)

Field2 options (5,6) are related to Field1 option (c)

If I select option "a" from Field1, other than the options 1 and 2 in Field2, every other option should be hidden.

Likewise, If I select options "a" and "b" from Field1, other than options 1,2,3 and 4 every other options should be hidden.

Related options should only be enabled when a selection is made.

It can be possible with jquery or with the behaviours but i don't know how to start . can anyone help me?

Or

Is there any best way to solve this. Any way that we can add a heading to divide the options under the field.

Thanks in advance.

Found below is one of the similar issues. But it is for change in Select list field.https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/24288662I have enclosed a code sample below which shows how you can use the Behaviours plugin provided by script runner to dynamically remove and set from a Select List field based on an option selected inside a check box field.import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehavioursimport com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FormFieldimport com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getOptionsManager() // Get a pointer to my select list fielddef selectList = getFieldByName("Demo Select List") // Get a pointer to my check box fieldFormField checkBox = getFieldByName("Check Box 1") // Get access to the required custom field and options managersdef customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(selectList.getFieldId())def config = customField.getRelevantConfig(getIssueContext())def options = optionsManager.getOptions(config)  // Get the checkbox option value as a Stringdef checkBoxVal = checkBox.getValue() // Logic to do some actions depending on what check box value is selectedif (checkBoxVal == "A") {    // define and set the required options when checkbox A is selected    def optionsMap = options.findAll {        it.value in ["A", "B"] // list of options you want to show    }.collectEntries {        [                (it.optionId.toString()): it.value        ]    }    selectList.setFieldOptions(optionsMap)} else if (checkBoxVal == "B") {    // define and set the required options when checkbox A is selected    def optionsMap = options.findAll {        it.value in ["C", "D", "E"] // list of options you want to show    }.collectEntries {        [                (it.optionId.toString()): it.value        ]    }   selectList.setFieldOptions(optionsMap)}Would be great if some one can help me with making it able to setFieldOptions for the Checkbox field. Thanks.

Thanks for the response.

Well thats a good Idea.

Field1 is having only 3 options in the scene I explained above.

I am working on the checkbox field which has 61 options. So I was trying to use only two fields instead of having individual fields for each option.

As a workaround you can have field 1 and three(one for each option of field 1) other multiple checkbox fields which will be displayed if values a, b and c are selected respectively.
