Need to set custom fields to Read-only at certain state transitions - having Issue setting Property

[Nannette Mori]

At the Done state I don't want any fields to be editable.  I also have certain fields I need read-only at creation and then I have a couple of Fields that I need read-only after transitioning to a certain state.  I know I can create new screens to use at the different work flow transitions but I do not know what to use for the property value for those new screens.  For example on my edit screen is called M2C2 Screen: Capability - Edit.  What would the key be for that screen?  Also Since I need all fields none Editable at Done, and some Fields not editable at creation, and a couple of other fields read-only after a certain state transition do I need to create a screen for each scenario?

We are on Jira 8.6.1 - data center not cloud

Hi @Nannette Mori 

Properties is pretty much all or nothing jira.issue.editable = true or false at a certain status.

If you need certain field to be read only after creation you can remove that field from your edit screen and only have it on your view and create screen. 

If you need a field to change behaviour, depending on what status the issue is in I am pretty sure you can do this using Scriptrunner behaviours.

Hope this clears things up! :)

Hi @Mathis Hellensberg 

Is there any possibility from properties  to restrict the editing/updating the custom field value while creation of ticket ?

Hi @Hari Shankar 

Not to my knowledge, no. But you should be able to with Behaviours using Scriptrunner.

In the documentation in Jira Tips and tricks it states you can lock permissions to a group or role 

See Below

jira.permission.edit.group = <some Group>

Is the documentation wrong
