How to make the field not Editable?

Question

It's not a great idea, but I just want to know how to do it from a technical point of view ^_^

I want to make this field not Editable:

(The issue type is Task.)

So I've opened the Screen (Operation type Edit) and I've seen that the Field Story point is not here (I wanted to remove it from the Edit operation)

What should I do to make the Field Story point not editable for the Task issue type?

Am asking for understanding, not implement it on my real project.

Hi @[deleted],

I reported this issue quite some time ago as a bug, as we bumped into the issue during a cloud migration. I don't know why exactly, but for some reason Atlassian has closed it as 'expected behaviour' without a workaround being available.

You can find the (closed) bug ticket right here: JRACLOUD-77577

Hope this clarifies!

Hmm. Good point, you've got me stumped there. Have you tried playing around with the View screen and Issue Layout view? Unfortunately I haven't seen this functionality so I'm just guessing, but try adding it to one and not the other.

@Mathew Lederman Thank you for the reply.

I got you.

But I wouldn't be able to edit the Story Points field anyway.

Right now my Story Points field is not on the screen of the Edit operation.

So why is it editable at all?
