Disable Project name editing

unknown

Hello,

I would like to prevent users from changing the project's Name, the same way they can't edit the project Key.

I noticed the project Key has 'disabled' in the HTML:

<input class="text" type="text" name="key" id="project-edit-key" value="JISJECP" maxlength="20" disabled="">

So, it is greyed out and can't be edited.

I would like to achieve the same for Name. I was thinking about using ScriptRunner to achieve it, the same way I used it to change the width of custom fields. However, the project name doesn't have any id:

<input class="text" maxlength="100" name="name" type="text" value="Project name (23248)"

Could someone give me hint on how to achieve it, please? 

If the above won't work, would it be possible to use ScriptRunner Script Fragments to 'hide' the Name field completely?

Thanks!

Hi,

First, the easiest way to do this is to disable the project administer permission. Users that don't have this permission can't reach the project details page and of course, can't change the project name. 

If this is not acceptable, I would try using the announcement banner to deliver the code snippet that will disable the project name for editing.

Regarding ScriptRunner Script Fragments, I don't think it's applicable for the project details screen, unfortunately.
