How to lock the editing permission of the specific field when switching to a specific status?

Cira Zhao

Hello Atlassian users,

I want to lock the editing right of the specific field of an issue to specific users when the issue is transitioned to a specific status. How can I set this?

Any assistance/thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @Cira Zhao ,

Welcome to the community !!

You can make use of Status properties like 

• jira.issue.editable - false
• jira.permission.comment.denied - true or leave empty

 

To disable edits and comments at the Workflow level, you can follow the steps outlined below:

 Edit the workflow that will be restricted; (more details in https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/disabling-edits-in-closed-issues-1139441852.html)

1. On the workflow's diagram view, click over the status that you want to add the restrictions;
2. You will see a popup menu on the right side of the screen;
3. Click on "Properties" in the popup menu;
4. Add the following properties;
5. Publish the workflow changes;
   More clearly explained in https://jlabnotes.com/jira-workflow-properties-disable-issue-editing/
