How to add and maintain "Create Behaviours"?

Configure Create Behaviours using JSON to auto-fill, hide, or display fields in Jira issue creation.

1- GUI Handling

Create Behaviours: This is an array of JSON objects, where each object represents a behavior action with four attributes.

You must verify the JSON according to JSON Schema in order to store behaviors.

2- JSON Schema

‍

{
  "$id": "http://json-schema.org/json/schema",
  "type": "array",
  "items": {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "fieldKey": {
        "type": "string"
      },
      "display": {
        "type": "boolean"
      },
      "automaticFillingOption": {
        "enum": ["constant_string", "source_field", "target_field", "source_issue_key"]

Description

Property Type Description
fieldKey string (field key) Enter here the field ID. It can be a system field or custom field.

The custom field ID must always start with customfield_.

You can find the field ID by following the steps on this page: Get custom field IDs for Jira and Jira Service Management | Jira | Atlassian Documentation. I recommend option 2 using the API.
display boolean If the value is false, then the field will be hidden. Mandatory fields must be populated, otherwise they will still be shown.

Supported fields:
summary
description
assignee
reporter
components
fix versions
labels
priority
checkboxes
date picker
date time picker
multi select
multi user picker
number
parent
radio buttons
single select
text field
url
user picker
automaticFillingOption enum ["constant_string", "source_field", "target_field", "source_issue_key"] constant_string: Choose this option to populate the field with a fixed text.

source_field: Choose this option when you want to populate the field with a value of a field in the source issue.

target_field: Choose this option when you want to populate the field with a value of another field in the “issue create modal” in real time.

source_issue_key: Choose this option when you want to populate the field with the source issue’s issue key.

Coming Soon:
no_action: Planned. No pre-fill function.
automaticFillingValue string (field key, value, or empty) If you choose source_field or target_field in automaticFillingOption, you have to enter the field ID in this property.

If you choose constant_string, you have to enter the fixed text in this property.

If you choose source_issue_key or no_action, leave this property empty.
