howto set cascading select field readonly?

[Mathias Buchholz]

hello,

i created an cascading select field (ID "customfield_10500")

In opening screen the user should do a cascading select. After the issue is created the that field shouldnt be able to change its value.

- Could i set the field property via workflow properties ? (if yes, with which command?) (setting readonly or disable edit)

- i wrote a groovy script for a "Script Runner plug-in post-function".

customField.putAt("enabled", false)
customField.store()

that throws a groovy.lang.ReadOnlyPropertyException: Cannot set readonly property: enabled for class: com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomFieldImpl

--> editable is also readonly...

What could i do?

thanks

Hi, you simply need to have the field available in the create screen and not in the edit screen if you wish for it to be set on create and not changed afterwards.

if you haven't already done so, best to create screens for: create, edit and view separately. Create a screen scheme with this set and assign it to the issue type you need.

From the screenshot it looks like you are using JIRA 5.1 which doesn't work with the Behaviour plugin. Script Runner also doesn't do anything like what you've described.

Your right it is jira 51. On a certain way Behaviour plugin works that way. but only while workflow transistion not for issue edit.

your hint creating different screens for view and edit war usful.

strange that you cannot config a field as readonly...

i tried to use the Jira Behaviour Plugin.

setting a field to readonly while a transition... it is possble.

but how do i set the field readonly in the main screen?

(in the screenshot i still could change the content of the field)

using Javascript? How?
