Unable to edit assignee until adding the edit permission

[Brenton Bills]

Hi,

Is there anyway to allow a group to only edit the Assignee field without allowing them to edit everything else? I added the permission for "Assign Issues" for the group but it wouldn't let me assign a user until I added the "Edit Issues" for that group.

Hello,

Try to revoke the Edit Issues permissions from the user and grant the user Assign Issues Permission. Then add a transition with the Assignee field in the screen. The user will be able to change the Assignee via this transition.

Yes, @Brenton Bills this way also you can achieve if you don't want to give the edit issue permission to the user anymore.

Hi @Brenton Bills,

You can define which fields can edit in the workflow configuration, as below

I think this may not be the easiest way, but hopefully it will help you.

Hi @Brenton Bills

Welcome to the community!

Yes, to edit/assign the issue you should have the edit issue permission. think if you are assigning the issue to the user that means you are changing something for that issue is nothing but the editing.
