How to make a separate field in a task not editable?

Question

I am trying  make a field: Reopen count not editable as it is created only for the specific automation for it. How is it possible to make?

How can I remove it from Issue Edit Screen, but keep it on Issue View Screen - a specific Field,not a screen.

Not quite.

I do not think I was too clear.

To keep it really simple, I would create two new screens, one that includes Reopen count, and a second that does not (Actually, I'd copy the screen you currently use for task twice, and modify them).  Call them something obvious like "task-with-reopen" and "task-standard"  (New screens so you can more easily go back)

Then, I would create a new screen-scheme that says:

* default: task-standard
* view: task-with-reopen
* edit: task-standard
* create: task-standard

Strictly, the default line in there means you don't need the edit or create, but I'm trying to be explicit here.

Now change your issue-type-screen-scheme so that it uses this screen-scheme for the issue types you want this be used for.

@Nic Brough -Adaptavist-  thanks! I see how Ican do it with a separate screen, but not a field. Should i make a separate screen called Reopen count and add it into the issue type scheme separately adding it to the view screen?

Go to the project that you want to do this in, then go to its admin area and look for the "issue type scheme".  You'll need to descend into that and edit it, so that for your issue type(s), they use different screens for create, edit and view - the minimal difference being the create and edit screens do not include the field, and the view screen does.
