Can i create a field only for admin purpose

Ashokkumar Santhanam

Hello Experts,

 

Can i create a field by giving access only to a particular user group inside a issue type?

Example : Field name - Focus Topic

This field Focus topic with "Yes" or "No" can only be visible and usable by project admins

should not be visible or editable by all users.

 

Thanks

Hey @Ashokkumar Santhanam 

OOTB this is not possible in Jira.

There is a open feature request on this https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-69298.

You may have to check out this plugin https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/23216/field-security-plugin-for-jira?tab=overview&hosting=server

 

A workaround would be to create transitions(adding a dedicated screen there) and restrict to the groups using conditions in workflow. Please check this KB to understand more https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira/how-can-i-control-the-editing-of-issue-fields-via-workflow-149834.html
