How to disable 'Assign to me' functionality for a few specific issues

SWAPNIL SRIVASTAV

Hello,

I need to disable the 'Assign to me' link when a custom field has a particular value. I have tried using the Behaviour Script - Initializer as well as Server Side Script, with no avail. Script works fine on Create,Edit and Assign screens.

Could you please help.

Thanks and Regards,

Swapnil Srivastav.

Hi @SWAPNIL SRIVASTAV 

Actually you would do it with a script fragment of type "hide element", but the element 'assign-to-me' is not available to hide.

I have a sort of a hack-solution.

You can use a 'Show a web panel' script fragment and inject javascript code to disable the button.

Unfortunately, the button is loaded after the script fragment, so you need to set a delay in your javascript code.

Here is the code:

writer.write('<script>setTimeout(function(){document.getElementById("assign-to-me").style.display = "none"},1000);</script>')

It basically waits for 1 second (for the button to load) and then hides the button.

It's a bit a hack, but the best I came up with. 

And this snippet only hides the button on the edit screen. You can still assign the issue by typing 'i'.

 

The issue will look like this:

And here is a screenshot of the configuration:
