Screen to display "Due date" non-editable

Question

On some transition in my workflow it is required to set a "Due date".

Later, in the same workflow, one has to enter the "Original Estimate". On this screen I'd like to also display the "Due date" but such that the user can't edit this value.

Is there any way to accomplish that?

Besides that, the follow-up question would be, is there an option to compare current date plus "Original Estimate" with "Due date"?

I'm afraid Cloud doesn't support the code you'd need.

I'm on Jira Cloud. Still possible via a bit of code?

As I read the question, no, it's not possible off-the-shelf.

If you put a field on a transition screen, Jira assumes that means you want to edit it while going through the transition.

With code, it might be possible to show the field and block edits (Behaviours in ScriptRunner for example), or mirror it out to a field that has no "edit" option so it only ever displays.

For the comparisons, again, not off-the-shelf, but with a bit of code, yes.
