Hi @Bn,

If I understand you correctly, then your setup is exactly the opposite as what one might expect.  I understand that you have 9 different screen schemes, all using the same screen.

What you want to end up with is the following structure:

Issue Type Screen Scheme 1 (with summary/description editing enabled)

>> Screen Scheme for Stories

>> >> Story Create Screen
>> >> Story Edit Screen (has summary/description fields on it)
>> >> Story View Screen

>> Screen Scheme for Bugs

>> >> Bug Create Screen
>> >> Bug Edit Screen (has summary/description fields on it)
>> >> Bug View Screen

>> Screen Scheme for Tasks

>> >> Task Create Screen
>> >> Task Edit Screen (has summary/description fields on it)
>> >> Task View Screen

And then a similar one with summary/description disabled

Issue Type Screen Scheme 2 (with summary/description editing disabled)

>> Screen Scheme for Stories

>> >> Story Create Screen
>> >> Story Edit Screen (does not have summary/description fields on it)
>> >> Story View Screen

>> Screen Scheme for Bugs

>> >> Bug Create Screen
>> >> Bug Edit Screen (does not have summary/description fields on it)
>> >> Bug View Screen

>> Screen Scheme for Tasks

>> >> Task Create Screen
>> >> Task Edit Screen (does not have summary/description fields on it)
>> >> Task View Screen

The projects where you want to allow editing should be associated with the first issue type screen scheme. The other projects should be associated with the second issue type screen scheme. 

Be aware that in the above example, all projects use the same issue types. If there are differences, then you should obviously create additional schemes where necessary.

For instructions on how to create screens, screen schemes and issue type screen schemes, see the following support articles:

Hope this helps!
