Custom Field Restriction

Question

Hello,

We are using JSW DC and we have been facing some sort of a challenge and we could use some help.

First of all we are working over one project where 50+ user "Divided into user groups" and users take action over the issues based on the status of the Issue.

We have a dropdown custom field "Z" in the project and we need to block the edit over the field value unless the editor is in a specific user group which will be determined by the current status.

For example,
Status X is handled by user group A
Then if it got switched to Status Y then user group B will start working over it and so on till we reach status DONE!

Any Help ? even if it will include an add-on.

You can do something similar with Project Roles as well (instead of groups).

Behaviors also allow you to set conditions based on groups and workflow status/transition without scripting, but sometimes I can't do what I want without scripting. In the above script, there are also some other custom fields that have to have certain values, but I removed those from the example script because they weren't important to your question.

If you have Scriptrunner, you can create behaviors that can conditionally make fields editable by groups. Here's an example of a behavior that I'm using. I have a custom field called AVP Approval and I only want it to be editable by users in the GRP-S-Salesforce AVP Approval Team group while the work item is in the UAT status.

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
def avpAppField = getFieldByName("AVP Approval")
def issueStatus = underlyingIssue.getStatus().name
def issueType = underlyingIssue.getIssueType().name

avpAppField.setReadOnly(true)

if (ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager().getGroupsForUser(currentUser)?.find { it.name == "GRP-S-Salesforce AVP Approval Team" } && issueStatus == "UAT")
{ 
    avpAppField.setReadOnly(false)
}
