Field restriction by user or group

[Bayan Hashem]

Is there a simple way to apply field restriction so specific users are allowed to edit this fields. 

I check the following post but need more clear steps please:

Note: for now I need to find a way with purchase a new plugin.

I hope there a way using Jira cloud automation

Hi Bayan - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I think all of the add-ons for field level security are for the Server product and not Jira Cloud. 

Automation for Jira will not do it because automation only happens as a result of something else happening. It cannot prevent the event from happening itself.  Typically, preventing events from happening are done with Conditions or Validators.

What I usually do in Jira Cloud for this is to remove the field from the Edit screen for that project. 

Then I create a self looping transition on the status and attach a transition screen to the transition with the field I want to be allowed to be updated. 

Finally, I put conditions on the transition to control who can execute the transition, in effect, controlling who can update the field. 

It's a little clunky, but it works for what I need it to do. 

And no add-ons involved.   :-)
