Description
Substitution variables are great to set fields in your issue to various things. What if you want to set a field to a value based on a value map? For instance, you want the JIRA user to see one value on the screen, but internally, you need a different value to be set in a custom field. How can this be done easily? This shows how to do this using a cascade select configuration in a non-typical way.
Value Map - Example
Key | Value |
|---|---|
joe | joe@xxx.com |
sally | sally@xxx.com |
Configure Cascade Select
Step | Example | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Create a cascade select custom field
|  |
| 2 | Add a parent entry with the key value of your map | |
| 3 | Create a child entry with the value part of your map | |
| 4 | Repeat for each key and value pair |
Using Substitution Values
Suppose your cascade select custom field is called: myMap
Example | Result |
|---|---|
%values_myMap(joe)% | joe@xxx.com |
%values_myMap(sally)% | sally@xxx.com |
%values_myMap(%entry%)%
| sally@xxx.com |
