If I understand what you are looking for, we use InTenso Dynamic Forms for this. If that's the same as the plugin that was mentioned above, it's worth every penny.

Hi Friends,

My requirements will explain in detail.

On create issue screen, I want to hide the custom dropdown in the form dynamically (I would like to make it visible new field based on another drown down value selection). Hence I tried some JavaScript on the target custom field description portion as you mentioned above. Unfortunately the JavaScript is not working at all. Could you please let me know what was the reason? Also help me to guide on the right direction to achieve the same.

Will it possible through JIRA script runner / groovy runner to achieve with build-in script.

Regards,

Janto

Hi,

You cannot make the field visible invisible based on other field selection by default.

You can make the field mandatory based on the field value selected though. This you can achieve by doing some java script in the description field of the target field.

Another possiblility is to write a validator using the script runner plugin that checks the source field for value and then makes sure target field is filled.

Thanks for your prompt response. I have tried adding the below script on my second field(the one I want to make visible based on first dropdown selection) description.

First custom field ID - customFieldId=10000

Second custom field ID - customFieldId=10004

Is that the right way to add the script? Could you someone guide me how to add script on custom fields?

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function (e, context) {
callChangeFunction();
});
callChangeFunction();
function callChangeFunction(){
showHidField();
// dropdown custom field change function
$("#customFieldId=10004").change(function() {
showHidField();
});

}
function showHidField(){
//drop down field selected value
var dropDownFieldval = $.trim($("#customFieldId=10000 :selected").text());
//test field1
$("#customFieldId=10004").closest('div.field-group').hide();
//test field2
$("#customFieldId=10004").closest('div.field-group').hide();
if(dropDownFieldval == 'video'){
$("#customFieldId=10004").closest('div.field-group').show();
}
}
});

</script>

Cheers,

The Javascript is to be added to the description field on the customfield.

Hey,

I tried with the suggested options. Unfortunately it is not working. I'm using JIRA 6.2.7 verion. Will it be a problem? Is there any work around for version specified?
