*Behaviours* allow you to change how fields behave on issue Create or Update screens.
Use this script to restrict the options available, and set the default value of single or multi-select fields on
the Create or Update screen.

#### Example

As a help-desk manager, I want to limit the select field options a user can pick at the time of creating an issue
and suggest a default value. I can use this script to restrict the options available in the pickers.

#### Good to Know

* Set up this script as an initialiser.


Set Behaviour Multi and Single Select Options and Value

#### Overview
*Behaviours* allow you to change how fields behave on issue *Create* or *Update* screens.
Using this script, you can set a field as hidden on these screens, so the user cannot see it.

#### Example
As an admin, I want to hidden a field temporarily so users can't see it for a specified time.
I use this script to make the field hidden for a set time, after which it is visible again.

#### Good to Know
* Set up this script as an initialiser.
* As an example, the script set makes two fields hidden: the default "Description" field and a custom field with name "TextField".
* You can use this script as part of a larger script to hide fields based on additional conditions.
