Is there a way to make a field read-only in a transition screen?

Phil Bustin_7fmhjs

I would like to require a transitioner to update field PR Move Req Date in a transition, but there isn't a way in Jira software to clear the field before the user sees the screen,

I thought of a workaround: creating a text field named "Please update the PR Move Req Date.", but is there a way to display it read-only; otherwise, it looks like this:

You could use this type of custom field

Define the Context for the field to set a default value, add the field to your transition screen, and the text you added for the default value in the field Context will display in the transition screen.
