Behaviors: how to make checkbox custom field options hide/visible depending on selected checkboxes inside of the field.

[Serj Shcherbakov]

Hi, Folks!
You know, I'm trying to make some checkboxes hidden when I select specific checkboxes of the field.
For example, I have:
"Custom Field" - checkbox type
"A","B","C","D" - the values of this field.
IF I select values "A"&"B" so that values "C" & "D" should be hidden.
How can I solve it is?
Please help me.
Many thanks for advice.

This isn't really possible through behaviours, its only possible to hide the complete field not specific checkboxes within it. 

Although as a workaround you could use two separate checkboxes and have this script on the checkbox field which contains "A" and "B" and "C" and "D" are on a completely different field. It sounds like they are kind of independent anyway.

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours

// this field contains boxes A and B
def checkboxField = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())

// This contains boxes C and D
def otherCheckboxField = getFieldByName("Other Checkbox")

def values = checkboxField.getValue() as List<String>

if (values.containsAll(["A", "B"])) {
    // hide field containing C and D when A and B selected
    otherCheckboxField.setHidden(true)
}

Hi @Adam Markham [Adaptavist], just wanted to clarify:

Is it not possible to hide checkbox field options at all, or only in the use case presented in the question?

I can use the script below to hide options on a Select field using the Behaviours initializer, but it doesn't work when applied to a checkbox field. I thought they were controlled by same Options classes? Please excuse me if I'm using incorrect nomenclature.

def formField = getFieldByName("Some field");
def customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(formField.getFieldId());
def config = customField.getRelevantConfig(getIssueContext());
def options = optionsManager.getOptions(config);

def optionsMap = options.findAll {
    it.value in ["Some option"] 
}.collectEntries {
    [
        (it.optionId.toString()) : it.value
    ]
} 
formField.setFieldOptions(optionsMap);

Do we know if Adaptavist has thise feature in future roadmap to hide options on checkboxes using behaviors ?

if (A.getValue() == "aaaa"){
B.setHidden(false);
C.setHidden(false);

}
if (A.getValue() == null){
