I need restrict the edit permission to project role based on custom field value on jira, Is there any way to do it? Kindly help.

Question

I have a select list having 2 options, security, network, and project roles security_role and Network_role,

When the ticket is in open status, and select list value is network then only users in network_role can edit the ticket, similar for security as well,

Kindly provide me some suggestion on this how I can achieve?

Nic is correct, this is not possible based on a field. Instead of using a select list use two issue types ("Secutity Issue", "Network Issue"). If you have for each issue type an own workflow, you can use those workflow properties to achieve your goal.

You can't do this on the value of a custom field.  You can restrict edit by status though - see https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Workflow+properties
