Hello @Rasanka Boteju 

I'm afraid that's not possible, please read this.

There are possible workarounds and a paid plugin.

Hello @Rasanka Boteju 

Jira doesn't support field level permissions. Hence out of the box it's not possible. You can hide the whole issue from a user using issue security scheme but not a specific field.

But your requirement is quite common and previously discussed on the community. There are paid plugins for this purpose but I don't think they are available on cloud.

JIRA doesn't have field level permissions. There may be a plugin available in the cloud version.
