Using hidden field in a software project

Question

Hello

Is it possible (and how) to define "hidden field" in a software project ? The goal would be to store automatically information in these field (using automation) but I don't want user modification on them

These information will be used later on for display (in a Confluence page or Jira Dashboard)

Thanks for your ideas

I tried to do that in a team managed project but I can't find my new field in the Jira Automation. Do you know of this is possible ?

I'm looking at a solution in a Team managed project with no access to Jira Administration

Hi @Corinne Guibert

If you go to create custom fields, under advanced, theres this "Text Field (read only)" which cannot be manually updated by users.

Whether it is "hidden" or not depends on if you have it on any screen/page.
