Multiple Values Autocomplete

To use autocomplete with multiple values on an issue follow the following steps:

  1. Before using the database custom field of the autocomplete type with multiple values, ensure that the type of the custom field is "Autocomplete" and that the Multiple Values checkbox is selected in the field configuration page, as shown below:

     

  2. The dbi2 database custom field will now act as a standard Jira autocomplete field (for instance, versions / components) in the create, edit, or transition screen of an issue, enabling you to select multiple values.



If you type a letter into the field, all matching values are displayed in a drop-down from which you can select the desired value.

If you enter an invalid option and leave the field, a warning message appears and an invalid value is not selected.

Alternatively, you can view the remaining available options by using the drop-down button from the right of the field.



You can remove a value from the field by clicking on the x icon for that particular value.

After you save the ticket, values selected for the custom field are displayed in the view issue screen, separated by comma.

You can use these multiple values autocomplete fields as parameters in dynamic queries.

They also support dynamic parameters in their queries, the available options for selection being updated when the parameter's value changes.
