We have a Jira Cloud instance syncing with 5 other Jira Cloud instances. The way the trigger works right now is that it reads a specific custom text field for the project name that the remote issue is supposed to be created in. This means we have 5 custom text fields.  
Can we leverage a cascading custom field with the first level being the instance name, and the second level being the project within that target instance? how do we do this?  
Also, what would the trigger look like then?

I used a cascading select field in source Jira called City. Based on the value of this field, the ticket gets automatically exalted to Jira2 or Jira3 (depending on value).
