How to make a User Customfield Read Only through javascript on Create Screen?

[Kapil Bolli]

Hi,

I want to make a user customfield readonly on Create Screen of JIRA 5.1.8.

When i am using customfied.disabled=true; Field has become Read-Only

Then on Creating issue, the value of that field is getting cleared.

So i have changed the script to :

AJS.$("#customfield_17802").attr("readonly", true);
		AJS.$("#customfield_17802").removeClass("editable-field inactive");
		AJS.$("#customfield_17802 .icon-edit-sml").remove();
		
		var div = document.getElementById("customfield_17802_container");
		var anchorList = div.getElementsByTagName('img');
		for(var i = 0; i < anchorList.length; i++) {
		anchorList[i].setAttribute('style','display:none');

}

With the above script , the field has become Readonly & image for selecting users is also removed.

But the user field is still suggesting(auto-complete feature) usernames which are similar to currently selected user.

ex: My user customfield is Current User Field.

I am logged in as user: jira , & user customfied is readonly .

but if there are user id's with jira1, jira2 & jira3 etc.

Then JIRA is suggesting the other values & user is able to select those values.

I don't want the user to select those values.

Thanks

try with this

jQuery(document).ready(	function($) {
JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function(e,context) {
	//add your script here and try
});	
});

suggest you to load js as a webresource

Hi Rambanam,

I added the script with above Jquery , now the field is not happening to be ReadOnly.

<script type="text/javascript">
	
		jQuery(document).ready( function($) {
JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function(e,context) {



	
		AJS.$("#customfield_17802").attr("readonly", true);
		AJS.$("#customfield_17802").removeClass("editable-field inactive");
		AJS.$("#customfield_17802 .icon-edit-sml").remove();
		
var div = document.getElementById("customfield_17802_container");

var anchorList = div.getElementsByTagName('img');
		for(var i = 0; i < anchorList.length; i++) {
		anchorList[i].setAttribute('style','display:none');}
		
		
	}); 
});   	
		
		</script>

to complete this make sure to also redirect any click event

AJS.$("#customfield_17802").on("click", funtion(e) { e.stopPropagation(); e.preventDefault(); return false});

This is great !

UPDATE - After I refined some things
This will insert whatever value you wish and grey out / disable input
You can isolate this to a specific form using unique field configurations.
Just insert this into the description box. 
If you still want a note to appear just add it after the script.

<script type="text/javascript">
if (document.getElementById("summary").value == "") {
document.getElementById("summary").value = "Address Change Request for\n";}
{document.getElementById("summary").disabled= true;}
</script>

 
I tried to hide the box and the entire summary block but ran into issues with the word "Summary" before the box.

<script type="text/javascript">
if (document.getElementById("summary").value == "") {
document.getElementById("summary").value = "Address Change Request for\n";}
{document.getElementById("summary").disabled= true;}
{document.getElementById("summary").style.visibility = "hidden";}
{document.getElementByid("qf-field-summary").display = "none";}
</script>

I am sorry to report that JIRA is a pain in the ... 
Once you attempt to Create the ticket it all comes crumbling down.
If anyone knows how to "trick" that validation into working that would be great.
