We have added a custom field for Developer Notes, but don't want this to be visible to anyone other than staff with the Developer role. How can we do this ?
Jira doesn't have field level security.
You can try to do it with a bit of javascript for yourself, but have a look at the field security plugin from quisapps or the behavours plugin.
if you want to do with javascript then you can try with following script
<script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(document).ready(function($) { JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function (e,context) { hideFieldForGroup(); }); hideFieldForGroup(); function hideFieldForGroup(){ var user=getCurrentUserName(); var statusText=$('#status-val').text(); var status=$.trim(statusText); if(isUserInGroup(user,'Developers') && status=='In Progress'){ $("#customfield_10571").closest('div.field-group').hide(); }else if(isUserInGroup(user,'Users') && status=='Open') { AJS.$("#customfield_10571").closest('div.field-group').show(); } } function getCurrentUserName() { var user; AJS.$.ajax({ url: "/rest/gadget/1.0/currentUser", type: 'get', dataType: 'json', async: false, success: function(data) { user = data.username; } }); return user; } function getGroups(user) { var groups; AJS.$.ajax({ url: "/rest/api/2/user?username="+user+"&expand=groups", type: 'get', dataType: 'json', async: false, success: function(data) { groups = data.groups.items; } }); return groups; } function isUserInGroup(user, group){ var groups = getGroups(user); for (i = 0; i < groups.length; i++){ if (groups[i].name == group){ return true; } } return false; } }); </script>
