Can I use a multi select field to conditionally hide fields

[Jenifer Kuntz]

This video (Behaviours demo: Conditionally show/hide custom field with ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud) is what I need to do except that the field I am using is a multi select rather than a singe select field.  Can this still be done?

Hi @Jenifer Kuntz

To answer your question, yes, this is doable.

Below is a sample working code for your reference:-

const changedField = getChangeField()
const multiSelect = getFieldById("customfield_10045")
const textField = getFieldById("customfield_10109")
textField.setVisible(true)

const multipleSelect = getFieldById("customfield_10045")
const myJSON = JSON.stringify(changedField.getValue())

if (myJSON.includes('Apple') ) {
   textField.setVisible(false)
}

Please note that the sample code above is not 100% exact to your environment. Hence, you will need to make the required modifications.

Below are the screenshots of the Behaviour configuration:-

So, in this example, when the option Apples is selected from the Multi-Select List, the Multi-Line text field will be hidden.

Below are a couple of test screenshots for your reference:-

1. First, I try to create a new issue. When the issue dialog appears, the Text Field(Multi field) is visible by default.

2. Next, when I select the option Apple from the Multi-Select List, the Text Field (Multi Line) is hidden as expected, as shown in the screenshot below:-

I hope this helps to solve your question. :-)

Thank you and Kind regards,
Ram
