Child work item table and List view does not respect edit screen – still possible to edit inline

[NC MDAM]

Hi,

I work in two different instances of Jira. For stories, we do not want to use the system fields Original estimate and Story points. So I want these disabled and locked for editing, so no one can set any value in these.

For both instances of Jira, Original estimate and Story points have been removed from the edit screen for stories.

• For instance 1: It is possible to edit both fields using the child work item table in epics and the List view.
• For instance 2: It is only possible to edit Story points from the child work item table in epics. Not Original estimate. I believe I have looked through all settings, and everything appears the same for both instances. Both fields are, however, able to be edited using the List view.

Quesitons:

1. What am I missing? How can it be possible to edit both, when they are removed from the edit screen, and how can their be a difference in the two instances?
2. Is it possible to disable the fields from anyone for stories, so they cannot even be searched when selecting a column in child work item table or List view? Seems strange, that you can find fields, that have been removed from the screens.

Documentation:

• Customize the child work item table - indicates the edit screen controls what can be edited from the child work item table.
• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-95659 - this indicates, that there's a bug with the List view, but mentions nothing about the child work item table.
