Current behavior
Board filter:
project = 'XYZ' AND "Cascading Field[Select List (cascading)]" IN cascadeOption("123", "456")
Steps:
- Configure a Select List (cascading) field Cascading Field with parent option 123 and child 456.
- Use the above filter on a company‑managed board.
- In the Backlog, create an issue via the inline “Create issue” button.
- Open the created issue.
Result:
Cascading Field has only the parent value set; the child is not populated
Expected behavior
When the board filter uses "<Cascading Field>" IN cascadeOption("parentId", "childId") (an unambiguous parent–child pair), inline issue create should auto‑populate both parent and child on the new issue so it fully matches the board filter.
Impact/justification - Teams rely on cascading fields and cascadeOption() in board filters.
- Only setting the parent forces users to manually pick the child for every backlog item, causing extra clicks and inconsistent data.
- Other select‑type fields are auto‑populated from board JQL; cascading fields should behave consistently when cascadeOption() clearly defines a single parent–child combination.
