Trigger a ComboBox refresh while exiting another ComboBox

[SimonGlet]

Hi,

The Jira Zephyr plugin does not allow environment variables so I replaced
the drop down lists by combo boxes.

The problem is to refresh the combo box value based on the selection of
another combo box.

Let's say I have two combo boxex, CB1 and CB2. CB1 holds project names and
CB2 versions to each project. When I select a project in CB1, I would like
to find a way to update CB2 accordingly.

Currently I can't find a way to get the FormValidation method to trigger the
refresh of CB2. I might be looking at this the wrong way ...

Any ideas ?

Thanks
Simon Glet

You need the second combo box's signature like: doFillCB2Items(@QueryParam String cb1) so that form binding knows that there is a dependency

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the quick response ! :-)

The thing is that the doFill method is only triggered when the
Project/Configure page is called. The only methods that are called without
refreshing the whole page are the FormValidation doCheck...

It seems that is only possible way to refresh locally is to click on
something like a checkBox, button.

We are beginning to think about optional fields: drop down list or free text
entry controlled by a check box. That way we would get back the drop down
lists that are updated on selection.

I will continue looking for a solution to the posted problem and any other
input is very welcome.

Thanks
Simon Glet

Really? Because I do this *all* the time with no issues...

Seems to work just fine to my eyes (ok so the Repository Name is using the new fancy select that gives AJAX refresh indication but the credentials drop down also changes its items

Yes it works fine with a ListBoxModel but my issue is with a ComboBoxModel.
For some reason the doFill method is not triggered with that type of
element.

The two provide links work with a list box.

Could this be a bug ? May be, still trying to figure it out.

Thanks for your time !

Should be a bug as iirc the combo box should *repeatedly* resubmit as you type to generate more completions

Hi Stephen,

I found part of the problem: by changing from the SelectList to the ComboBox
elements the data structure of the elements are quite different. During the
refactoring, a field name in the Jelly file was not changed in every doFill
method signature.
That prevented the doFill with the wrong field name argument from being
invoked.

Thanks
