Restrictions padlock not editable from list modal

Question

Hi all, I am a rookie, but I have searched for this to no avail.

I have a (test) team-managed "software" project. I have restrictions set up so I can make any task private to me, without restriction, or restricted to certain roles. Works well.

In "Issues", I can select a task, it opens full screen and if I click the padlock icon, I can edit the restriction level:

In "list" view (where I can see all issues and they handily nest and collapse hierarchically under their parent), or the "board" view, when I click a task, it opens in a modal. If I click the padlock there, I cannot edit the restriction level.  It only gives me a "restricted" tooltip and no list.

How can I make this function editable from these views?  The "issues" view is pretty useless as it is just a long list of all sorts of task types mixed together.

I have already tried to open project settings > issues types > tasks to try and see if I can add "security..." field, but it does not exist.

Thanks!

Hi Patrick:

You have standard subscription, then you should be able to access (https://support.atlassian.com) to submit your ask.  Are you the site/Jira admins for your env?  Or, you are only a project administrators for the project that you managed?

If not, work with your site/Jira admins to submit the ask.

Best, Joseph

No problem and thanks. I see no option to contact Support. So I am hoping community members may know the answers.

@Patrick R -

I am truly sorry when I provided my feedbacks initially.  Right after I posted, I revised my original posting the the security functionality as it is an out of the box.

Please refer my updated and revised feedbacks above.  I believe the best route will be to contact Atlassian Support at this point for their assistance.

Best, Joseph
