Is there a way to make description field non-editable while issue is in certain statuses?

Nina Zolotova

Hello.

For example, in my project I have three issue statuses - New, Work in progress and Done. I need to allow editing issue description only in status New, and to restrict editing, when someone already works on this issue. Is it possible in Jira?

Thank you.

Edit restrictions are all or nothing - you can block it by status and even by group (e.g. when "in progress" only developers can edit, rest of the time, users can too), but not by field

If however, you remove the field you want to protect from the Edit screen, and put it on transition screens, you can create transitions that are locked down and let only certain users edit the field by using them

Nic, thanks for your help.

Blocking by status works for my purpose.

I added property key jira.issue.editable and value false for the issue status Work in progress.

Can you please elaborate on this point?

I used this help document and got it working: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/mapping-a-screen-to-a-workflow-transition-720634253.html

You could also use scriptrunner app, behaviours to restrict editing fields in certain statusses
