How to hide the Summary field in a specific Field Configuration.

luizduarte October 21, 2019

I'll preface this by saying we do not have ScriptRunner(despite our wishes)

We are trying to hide the summary field in a specific screen, since we'll be using a plugin to fill with the concatenation of other fields.

On the create screen however, we used a JS script in the field configuration to fill it with a standard value, so as to not be empty. 

This is the script we have on the Field Configuration Summary Description:

<script type="text/javascript">
if (document.getElementById("summary").value == "") {
document.getElementById("summary").value = "Do not Edit";}

</script>

 Now we are trying to hide it.  Any help in that regard.

In My Server instance, I was able to remove the summary from the issue screen view

Then ist is also removed in the edit isssue screen.

But it is still visible in the browser.

@Alexander Pappert  It is the reason I said you won't be able to remove it.

I found some very old posts, even though I am not sure why you want to remove the field when it is one of the core fields on issues.

@luizduarte

Not sure why you are trying to remove Summary Field however it is a required Jira system Field.

I don't think it can be removed.

I just want to hide it.

 

I have a post-function to populate it with data from other fields after creation, and the JS will pre-populate it with a standard value, I just need that the users do not see it.
