Behavior Plugin - Setting value of a Select custom field based on value selected in other Select custom field not working, even though the log shows everything working fine

[Bharat Kavade]

Hello,

I am trying to set a value of Select field (Product Version) based on value user selects in another Select field (Project Code) on issue creation screen. 

JIRA Version: 5.0.1

Behavior Plugin Version: 0.5.0

I have below a behavior added and linked to a project I am using (Test_Project). Also, this behavior is added for "Project Code" custom field.

import org.ofbiz.core.entity.GenericValue
import com.atlassian.core.ofbiz.util.OFBizPropertyUtils

def ProjectCodeField = getFieldById("customfield_11304")
def ProductVersionField = getFieldById("customfield_11302")

if ( ProjectCodeField.getValue() == "ProjCode1" ) {
ProductVersionField.setFormValue ("ProdVer1")
}
else if ( ProjectCodeField.getValue() == "ProjCode2" ) {
ProductVersionField.setFormValue ("ProdVer2")
}
else {
ProductVersionField.setFormValue ("Other")
}

where customfield_11304 = Project Code and customfield_11302 = Product Version.

Options in Project Code Select list --> ProjCode1, ProjCode2

Options in Product Version Select list --> ProdVer1, ProdVer2, Other

I have logging on and can see below see below sentence in the log file. From the sentence it looks like the operation is going fine, but still the value of "Product Version" field does not change on the create screen and stays none.

I'll appreciate the help!

Hi Bharat,

When setting a select list field inside Behaviours you need to specify the ID option of the option to set and not the value.  In your example above that should be the ID for the ProdVer1 or ProdVer2 options.

Below I enlcose a sample behaviours script which shows how you can set a select list field called Request Type based on a select list field called Client.

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FormField
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

// Get a pointer to my select list fields
def clinetSelectList = getFieldByName("Client")
def requestTypeSelectList = getFieldByName("Request Type")

// Get the Value of the Client Field
def clientVal = clinetSelectList.getValue()

// If the XX option is selected then set the Request Type Field to Option A
if(clientVal == "XX"){
// Set the value of the field using the option ID for the A value
    requestTypeSelectList.setFormValue(10400) 
}

I hope this helps.
