Is it possible to prevent update access to custom fields in plans

[Dave Cuff]

Hi.  We have a plan that shows some custom fields however we don't want the users to update these fields in the plan as the are calculated by a formula.  Is this possible?

Hi,

You can user Project Permissions for this.

In Permissions -> Edit Issues 

give this permission to allowable users or groups.

Or rebuild a permission scheme and use it.

There are 2 options; 

1- Create your own custom field ( it is the long way )

2- Buy plugin ( easy way but expensive way :)
