Making custom fields invisible and mandatory based on component (Behaviours Plugin)

Kai Gottschalk

Hi there,

I am building up a JIRA - support project for different Atlassian Tools (JIRA, Confluence, HipChat). Depending on the selected component (either JIRA, Confluence or HipChat), different customfields shall be either "visible & required" or "invisible & optional" in the create process.

Case 1 - Initial situation:

- Field "Business Unit" = Hidden

- Field "JIRA Project Concerned" = Hidden

Case 2 - Component "JIRA" being selected:

- Field "JIRA Project Concerned" = Visible and mandatory

Case 3 - Component "Confluence" being selected:

- Field "Business Unit" = Visible and mandatory

Case 4 - Component "HipChat" being selected:

_Shall be handled as case 1_ (both fields invisible and optional)

In my opinion this is a standard case for the behaviours plugin, but after several hours and a lot of code changes, I ended up with following code, which simply does not work for us:

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.component.ProjectComponent

FormField components = getFieldByName ("Component/s") // id for Component
FormField BusinessUnit = getFieldById ("customfield_10572") // id for "Business Unit"
FormField JiraProjectConcerned = getFieldById ("customfield_10100") // id for "Jira Project concerned""

String component = components.getValue()
if (component == 17850) {
JiraProjectConcerned.setHidden(false)
}
else {
JiraProjectConcerned.setHidden(true)
}

Furthermore I optionally tried using following code in the initialiser script:

BusinessUnit.setHidden(true)
BusinessUnit.setRequired(false)
JiraProjectConcerned.setHidden(true)
JiraProjectConcerned.setRequired(false)

The result of the first snipplet is always that field "JIRA Project concerned" is hidden and will never show up, so the else-case seems to always true.

As mentioned it took me already a lot of time, being non code-savvy, so I'd be more than grateful to have any concrete hints into the right direction.

Thanks and best regards

Kai

PS: Already had an intense look into the documentation of the plugin at Adaptavist and in following questions here:

So thanks a million once again, Jamie!

Hi Kai

You can try something like this.

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.component.ProjectComponentImpl

def components = getFieldById("components") // id for Component
def JiraProjectConcerned = getFieldById ("customfield_10200") // id for "Jira Project concerned""

def component =  components.getValue()
ProjectComponentImpl componentImpl = component[0]

if (componentImpl?.getName()?.equals('17850')) {
    JiraProjectConcerned.setRequired(false)
}
else {
    JiraProjectConcerned.setRequired(true)
}

Please let me know if this works for you

Hi Thanos,

first: Thanks a million for pointing us into the correct direction!

With your script example above, I finally got it working 90% of our requirement, using this script:

import com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.component.ProjectComponentImpl

def components = getFieldById("components") // id for Component
def JiraProjectConcerned = getFieldById ("customfield_10100") // id for "Jira Project concerned"
def BusinessUnit = getFieldById ("customfield_10572") // id for "BusinessUnit"

def component = components.getValue()
ProjectComponentImpl componentImpl = component[0]

if (componentImpl?.getName()?.equals('JIRA')) {
    JiraProjectConcerned.setRequired(true)
    BusinessUnit.setHidden(true)
}
else if (componentImpl?.getName()?.equals('Confluence')) {
    BusinessUnit.setRequired(true)
    JiraProjectConcerned.setHidden(true)
}
else if (componentImpl?.getName()?.equals('Hipchat')) {
    JiraProjectConcerned.setRequired(false)
    BusinessUnit.setRequired(false)
    JiraProjectConcerned.setHidden(true)
    BusinessUnit.setHidden(true)
}

The only missing thing here is that instead of removing fields ("JIRA Project concerned", "Business Unit") when a certain component is chosen, I wanted to remove the fields initially and then want to show them, once a certain component is chosen. My assumption was using the initialiser function for this, but it simply does not work. Any hint here for me?

Thanks a lot —

Cheers

Kai

If you want to show them when a component is chosen, you have to add the script to the component field, not initialiser.

Hi Jamie, first of all thanks a lot for the best plugin available in Marketplace: Script Runner. We're using it for more than three years now, and - since three days - acquired a paid license The above mentioned script is currently entirely attached in the "Component/s"-field and as stated I have following situation: as is: ------- 1.) Initially both fields ("Business Unit"/"JIRA Project concerned") are shown. 2.) Once a component (e.g. "JIRA") is entered the field not used ("Business Unit") DISAPPEARS. to be: -------- 1.) Initially both fields ("Business Unit"/"JIRA Project concerned") are NOT shown. 2.) Once a component (e.g. "JIRA") is entered the field used ("JIRA Project concerned") APPEARS. Is this doable? What I need to change in this script? Cheers Kai

Dear team,

In my Jira project's create screen, need to make LOCATION field mandatory only if Component/s Field's drop down value is "Cloud Test Lines" is selected..

Please help me with script or steps detail as I am a new bee to Jira.. It will be great help if you people direct me to get it solved immediately.
