How to get rid of locked field field.

Question

Hi, I want to create automation like if we add a request participant and then send a Slack message to a user. 
But the "Request Participant" field is locked. I already associated it with the correct screen and project, but still not showing in the ticket. 
Can you please suggest?

Oh, hang on. This is a Software project. Request participants is only applicable to JSM projects. If you want to add interested parties to a software project, you should use the watcher feature. By clicking on the eyeball in the upper right of an issue, you can add participants. The notifications to those participants/watchers is dictated by the notification scheme.

Hi @Jack Brickey I already configured all the backend processes before, but still, the Request Participant field is not showing.

Hi @Shikha Verma , by default the request participant field should exist and likely is under the More list on your right hand side on the right hand side of your screen. If the field is not present, please go to project settings and then screens and find your specific screen for your request type. Edit the screen and add the request participants field.
