how can i make summary field editable only for certain role

Mahdi Challouf

I want to make restriction for edit summary field to be editable only for same roles for the whole projects.

 

I used behaviours to make the field readOnly with expect condition to that role it works but it will be restricted for the whole (Create, view and edit). 

 

There is another way to do this ?

Hi Mahdi,

There's a way to achieve this. Not the most elegant solution, but it works.

1) Remove 'Summary' field from issue 'Edit' screen

2) In your workflow create a GLOBAL transition, that lead to ITSELF. That way it will be available in every status, but won't change the current status once used.

3) Add a screen to that transition with 'Summary' field

4) Add all neccessary conditions to that transition, to make it available only to certain project roles.

Now your 'Summary' field will be editable ONLY through that transition. Transition conditions will make sure it's only available to required project roles.

Hope this helps.
