How to hide the Summary field in a specific Field Configuration.

Question

I'll preface this by saying we do not have ScriptRunner(despite our wishes) We are trying to hide the summary field in a specific screen, since we'll be using a plugin to fill with the concatenation of other fields. On the create screen however, we used a JS script in the field configuration to fill it with a standard value, so as to not be empty. This is the script we have on the Field Configuration Summary Description: Now we are trying to hide it. Any help in that regard.

@Alexander Pappert  It is the reason I said you won't be able to remove it.

I found some very old posts, even though I am not sure why you want to remove the field when it is one of the core fields on issues.

I just want to hide it.

I have a post-function to populate it with data from other fields after creation, and the JS will pre-populate it with a standard value, I just need that the users do not see it.

In My Server instance, I was able to remove the summary from the issue screen view

Then ist is also removed in the edit isssue screen.

But it is still visible in the browser.
