Since version 2.1.3, Database Custom Field provides support for the inline edit feature of JIRA 5.1.x: all database information fields (parent or child) can be edited inline in the view issue screen.
How it works
Consider the following configuration:
where dbi2 is a database custom field of type autocomplete mapped to a dynamic query having dbi field as parameter, and dbi is a parent database custom field of type select list, having as child the dbci field, and the following values saved on an issue for the mentioned custom fields:
- When clicking on the dbi value the inline edit form opens, showing the select list containing all available values.
- After selecting a different value and submitting the form, the values for the child field dbci and the dependent field dbi2 are updated with the first found matching value and saved on the issue:
That's it.
