Ability to define field Permission in jira Cloud

[Orly Dahan]

Hi,

I would like to give a specific group the option to edit certain fields (custom, Versions...)

In the marketplace, I could only find applications for jira server, but we are using jira cloud.

Do you know which application works with jira cloud?

Hi Orly,

There is no option to do field level permissions in Jira Cloud. 

But a workaround might be to remove the field from the Edit screen for the project. Then create a new Transition screen with the field showing on this screen. 

Then create a new transition on the status that loops back to itself (called a Looping Transition).

Then attach the Transition screen to the new looping transition in the workflow. 

Then you can place conditions on this transition to control who can execute the transition that shows the screen with the field to be edited.
