How to make the field not Editable?

[Max]

It's not a great idea, but I just want to know how to do it from a technical point of view ^_^

I want to make this field not Editable:

(The issue type is Task.)

So I've opened the Screen (Operation type Edit) and I've seen that the Field Story point is not here (I wanted to remove it from the Edit operation)

What should I do to make the Field Story point not editable for the Task issue type?

Am asking for understanding, not implement it on my real project.

To make the field not editable you would simply remove it from the screen tied to the Edit issue operation. However, since you have 1 shared screen between the Edit issue and Create issue operations, removing the field would remove it from the Create screen as well.

The best option would be

1. Copy the Create screen
2. Rename to Edit
3. Remove the Story Points Field
4.  Update the screen scheme to include the new Edit screen for the Edit operation

@Mathew Lederman Thank you for the reply.

I got you.

But I wouldn't be able to edit the Story Points field anyway.

Right now my Story Points field is not on the screen of the Edit operation.

So why is it editable at all?

Hmm. Good point, you've got me stumped there. Have you tried playing around with the View screen and Issue Layout view? Unfortunately I haven't seen this functionality so I'm just guessing, but try adding it to one and not the other.
