calculates text field, script too long

Question

Hi all,

I'm creating a new business project in JIRA, each issue has the following fields:

* supplier code 
* supplier description

I wuold like automatically compile the supplier description based on the supplier code that is a text free field.

I tried to use the calculated text field, but the problem is that I have more than 4000 possible supplier and my script become too long and when i insert it in the description i receive an error...

Do you know a way to solve this problem?

Thank you!

sorry I wrote an example not inserting the correct values...

@Formula:
String suppliercode= issue.get("customfield_12462");

if (suppliercode.equals( "001" )) return "Pippo";
if (suppliercode.equals( "AB4" )) return "Pluto";
if (suppliercode.equals( "C73" )) return "De cicco";

-->

so I don't think I can use an iterative code, but I am not so expert,...

I think you should use Map collection in this case. To make code more readable it better to put map filling into a function. Here is a code example how to do it, tune it to your needs: import java.util.Map Map suppliersMap = new HashMap<>(); initiateMap(suppliersMap); return suppliersMap.get("code " + 2053) public initiateMap(Map _map ) { for(int iSupl = 0; iSupl < 4000; ++iSupl) _map.put("code " + iSupl, "desription " + iSupl); }
