dynamically filter
I am reaching out to share feedback and request a feature enhancement that would significantly improve the user experience and workflow efficiency in YouTrack.
Feature Request Overview: We are looking for the ability to dynamically filter the options of a custom field based on the selection made in another custom field within an issue. Specifically, the scenario involves having a "Select Customer" field, where upon selection, the "Select Project" field's options would dynamically adjust to show only the projects related to the selected customer. This functionality is crucial for maintaining a streamlined workflow and ensuring data integrity by guiding users to make appropriate selections based on context.
Current Limitations: As of now, it appears that YouTrack workflows and custom fields do not support this level of dynamic interaction between fields directly through the UI. Our team has explored various workarounds, including manual guidance and automated actions post-selection, but these solutions are not as efficient or user-friendly as having built-in dynamic field filtering.
Use Case and Impact: In our daily operations, we manage a large number of projects and customers. The ability to dynamically filter fields based on prior selections would not only reduce the margin for error but also enhance the issue creation process, making it more intuitive for our users. This feature would directly benefit project managers, developers, and administrators by saving time and reducing the complexity of issue management.
Request: We kindly request the YouTrack team to consider implementing dynamic field filtering capabilities in an upcoming release. Adding this feature would align well with YouTrack’s mission to provide a versatile and efficient issue tracking system.
Conclusion: Thank you for considering our feedback and for continuously improving YouTrack. We are looking forward to seeing dynamic field filtering in YouTrack and are excited about how this feature could enhance our workflow.

Hi! This functionality is currently supported in workflows. These can be built using our constructor, which is a visually friendly way to provide your requirements and necessary actions in the workflow. E.g.:
This will assign John Doe to the issue whenever the “Company” field is set to "Google". You can use that for reference when creating your own WF (e.g., to select a project on a field change). Feel free to read more in: Workflow Tutorial.
thank you @Stanislav Dubin i will try this and i will give you feedback.
