OverviewThis advanced example is about a custom scripting based way to provide dynamic column selection. This is based on the Column Selection examples and assume you have followed those steps first. We use a simple table to make it easier to demonstrate the scripting. | Tip |
|---|
| Skills - if you do not have the following skills, do not attempt this example. Learn the basics separately and then come back here. - You should already be experienced with some form of scripting like with groovy
- You should be familiar with using the Run macro and using checklist input fields
- You should have a bit of understanding of wiki markup
