Grant permission by field and not by project

Luciana Góes

Can I give edit permission to a specific field? Or will it always be by design? It would be for a custom field.

Hi @Luciana Góes

Welcome to the Community!
Short answer: No — Jira Cloud does not support true field-level edit permissions out of the box.

However, you can approximate that behaviour using workflow tricks/transition screens/conditions. Atlassian’s docs even describe this workaround.
Check the following doc.

Also, you can read the following community question.
