Remove a Version/release for a given Issue type

Question

G'day all,

I have an situation where by for one give issue type I need to not allow a given version/release to be specified for any of the release fields.   (Affect/s version, Fix version/s, our custom version/release types)

The only way I could think of is essentially each transition throughout the workflow create a script runner validator for each release field type that ensures the incorrect version was not chosen.

I have two concerns with that solution.  1. It is long and will be a pain to maintain as it is several validators on every transition.  If a new transition is added it must get all the validators, etc.  2. It really only prevent transitioning with an incorrect release, I would really prefer the release not even be visible in the selection.

I would think others would have this problem/need as well, as I see this as a somewhat common problem, limiting version based upon issue type.

Any help is always truly appreciated.

Thanks,

Robert

Oh I see behaviors can hide the entire field but not limit it to not have a certain value.   So I want one of the versions (call hotfix) not available for the hotfix issue type.    SO Hot fix is both a version in project A and an issue type.  If we are in the issue type hotfix making affects version hotfix makes no sense but people are still using it.

Hello,

Try to make a ScriptRunner behaviour if you are not on Cloud.

Behaviours can hide field in UI.
