Set fields to read-only after create screen for some groups

Question

Hi,

Currently, I've limited the edit options for some user groups. They can create an issue but never edit the ticket. However, I would like some fields to be editable yet others not to be. How can this be done?

I've tried using behavior, but if you set some field for a group to readOnly, it becomes readonly when creating the ticket as well. So now, I'm trying to set up a script to get this working for me in combination with the standard condition options in behaviors:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.LazyLoadedOption;

//Setting some fields to non-editable
def customField1 = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject("customfield_13803");
if (getFieldScreen().name != "Axon Delivery - create") {customField1.setReadOnly(true)}

Actually, I'm really trying to avoid any unnecessary transitions as they clog up the flow. So if there is a way with behaviors / scripts that would be very helpful.

Hi @Sander Spoelstra,

You use jira workflow transition for updating field values instead of using Edit operations. Using condition you can restrict the transition to certain groups only.
