Editing Priority

Ismail Sanni_i96fy4

Hi Smart Community, 

I have a quick question. So, I have a field (Priority) and I don't want anybody to edit it, I just want the field to be editable by the Project admins. Is something like this possible on Jira. I still want people to edit the Issue, but not that particular field.

Thanks,

Ismail.

Hi @Ismail Sanni

the one solution which spontaneously comes to my mind is the following:

• Remove the Priority from the edit screen for this project/issuetype.
• Introduce a new (global) transition, e.g. "Set Priority"
  • this transition doesn't change the status only the priority field
  • assign a screen to it which contains the priority field
  • add a condition to this transition so that only project admins may view it

What do you think about it? Do you need more pointers for that solution?

Cheers,
Matthias.
