How to hide the comment field only in the Edit screen and not the View screen

[Tom L]

I have a requirement to hide the comment field in the Edit screen.  I was able to hide it using the following Behaviours script:

def commentField = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())

if (getFieldScreen().name == "My Edit Screen" && !getActionName())

{ // check if on edit screen
commentField.setHidden(true)
}

But, the problem is that it is also hiding the comment field in the View screen, which I do not want.

For example, after I open/dismiss the Edit screen and clicked on the "Comment" button in the "Comments" tab in the View screen, the "Comment" button disappeared.  Also clicking on the "Comment" button under the Summary in the View screen has no affect.

If I refresh the browser, the "Comment" button appears again in the "Comments" tab, and clicking on it will display the comment field.

Anyone knows how to hide the comment field in the Edit screen without affecting the comment field in the View screen?

The Soulwing CAS client is officially deprecated. I will continue to provide minimal support for it for existing users. Those interested in CAS integration for Confluence, Jira, and Tomcat are strongly encouraged to use the official Jasig CAS client. The official client supports all of the functionality provided by the Soulwing CAS client, and many new features -- support for SAML, single sign-out, etc...

Here is the jasig documentation:

Hope you will find it useful :)
