Issue Summary

Configuring a Dependent dropdown (aka Cascade) type custom field in a Jira team-managed space and setting a default value does not save the value. This is evident when creating a Jira work item and observing the custom field value. The default value is neither saved in the Create or View work item operation.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Navigate to a Jira team-managed space > Space settings > Work types and select a work type
2. Create a Dependent dropdown field with some options/values
3. Select the default option/value and save changes
4. Create a new work item in the team-managed space and observe that the default option/value configured in step 3 doesn't appear

Expected Results

The default option/value configured for the field should be saved and appear when creating or viewing a work item in a team-managed Jira space

Actual Results

The value of the Dependent dropdown field is empty and doesn't show the saved default option/value.

Workaround

• Create a Cascade-type field from the global field context (Settings > System > Work items > Fields)
• Once the field has been created, navigate to the field, click on the 3 dots below the Actions column and select 'Contexts and default values'
• Configure the Options and then subsequently the default value
• Ensure that the 'Applicable contexts for scheme' shows Global (all work items)
• Navigate to your Jira team-managed space > Space settings > Fields > Add field and add the newly created Cascade-type field
• Navigate to the work type, drag-and-drop the Cascade-type field to to either the Context or Description fields and save changes
