How to set fields as read only in certain workflow states?

Paul Duquennoy

Hello,

We want to have fields read-only in specific issue statuses (e.g. Affects version when status is not Open). We used to use Behaviours for that, but we have problems with it in Jira 6.2.

Is there a solution (with properties, with a plugin or other) to achieve this result ?

Hey there, Paul.

Interesting question. There are a couple of questions that were already asked beforehand that you can refer. Perhaps it can shed more light on the requirement that you have here.
