Set Issue Security based on select list type custom field value

Question

I have a requirement where user wants to restrict issue view only when a specific custom field value is *Yes*.

I know this is not directly achievable. Is there a way where I can implement the same?

Thanos Batagiannis _Adaptavist_ · Answer

to 'clear' the security level you should

issue.setSecurityLevelId(null)

therefore you can have an (pseudocode)

if (cfValue == 'yes') {
	issue.setSecurityLevelId(null)
} else if (cfValue == 'no') {
	issue.setSecurityLevelId(secLevel.id)
} else {
	//something else 
}

Hello Jamie,

I implemented the security but still users are able to see the issue on Read-Only Mode. I want issue not to be visible when customfield value is YES.

Can you please guide further?

Thanks,

You can use the set issue security built-in script to do this...

If you want to do it from a listener the code is just:

issue.setSecurityLevelId(secLevel.id)
