Hi, You can do it with the permission scheme or add some javascript in the screen to hide the comment field

add the following script in any field description on field configuraion of that issue type which is present on that transition by changing transition name

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(	function($) {
JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function(e,context) {
	callCommentHideFunction();
});	
callCommentHideFunction();
function callCommentHideFunction(){
	if($('#issue-workflow-transition-submit').val() =='working'){
		$(".wiki-edit").hide();
		$("label[for='comment']").hide();
	}
}
});

</script>

Hi, I have some problem (some JS don't loaded , I can't add a comment Can you give me your JIRA version?

dhaval soni1

its not working.. can you please see below if i missed any thing to add:

Have added that stuff under one of custom field's descrition (under "field configuration"). that field is used in a transition screen where "comment" textbox is appear.

In your javascript snippet, have just changed transition name as "#Send for Peer Review" and not changed any thing else.. my stuff looks as below:

&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
jQuery(document).ready( function($) {
JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function(e,context) {
    callCommentHideFunction();
}); 
callCommentHideFunction();
function callCommentHideFunction(){
    if($('#Send for Peer Review').val() =='working'){
        $('#comment').closest('div.field-group').hide();
    }
}
});
 
&lt;/script&gt;

what is missing here..

dhaval soni1

jira 5.2.11 stand alone.

dhaval soni1

i've used same transition name which is given at workflow transition.

Not included ID like - "Send for Peer Review(11)"

RambanamP

pls change only transition name(working, if you need to remove comment on working transition then no need to change anything, copy as it is to field configuration) and check the answer again i have modified

Nadir MEZIANI

Hi Put this script in the description of a customfield and it will work. <script type="text/javascript"> AJS.$(window).load(function(){AJS.$("#comment").parent().hide();}); </script>

dhaval soni1

I have put at description of custom field. also tried by putting at - Field configuraiton - descrition .

but comment box is still appear in issue transition screen.

dhaval soni1

what to do in permission scheme to remove this comment box.

Do you mean by removing comments rights ? but then it will remove from issue view screen - comments too ?

will it be possible to remove just on issue transition screen only through permission scheme?

Nadir MEZIANI

Hi, Try this. AJS.$(window).load(AJS.$("#comment").parent().hide());

dhaval soni1

no luck.. tried at select Field and Message(edit) field...

have tried by putting script tag and without it..

Hi,

Have you debug it with fire bug, in JIRA 5.2.8, it work fine.

You can hide comments or other fields using Behaviours Plugin. Lots of features. It is highly customizable (which transition, status, which user etc.) and you do not need to do coding for basic stuff.

M_hbxxoy

Hi, just for information, when you user this plugin ( Behviours Plugin) to hide the comment, it is hidden everywhere. In my test, if i'm not wrong, you cannot hide it for specific screen. when you view a issue, the comment is always displyed, but not accessible.

In conclusion, you cannot hide this field only when you edit an issue, or attached a file, you cannot use this feature anymore.

Put this in the 'Description' of your custom field. This will hide the Comments field on the 'Edit Issue' dialog, which is where I needed to hide him. It will not hide it anywhere else.

Sure, you can have more null checks, but this works for me in Chrome and IE, so I'm not going to spend more time making it resilient.

I am running JIRA 6.2.2.

JIRA 6.1.x steps.
Go to Field Configuration
Edit one of the custom fields also appearing on the transition screen wherein you want to hide comment.
