Is it possible to restrict browse/view permission on a particular issue, using a custom field.

Is it possible to restrict browse/view permission on a particular issue, using a custom field.

For example, If while creating an issue I click on a check box named "Private", then the issue should be visible only to a particular group.

Can't you handle this with Security level ? Why do you want to go for a custom field ? 

Please refer this documentation on security levels - https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver073/configuring-issue-level-security-861253265.html

Here you go Rinkesh:

- click on the wheels up right, then on Projects

- Select the project you want to edit

- From project settings go to screen (on the left)

- Click on the pensil on the right of the screen scheme you want edit

- If you have already defined a create scheme, just click on it and add the Security Level Field

- If you have only just a screen as default (for all 3 issue operation: create/edit/view) and you want to set a  specific screen for the create action, then take note of the name of the sinlge screen you have, click on View all screen schemes (on a new tab), duplicate that scheme to create a create screen :) .

-(on the new tab) Click on the new screen and add the Security Level Field 

-  /(on the previous tab) clic on Associate an issue type with a screen scheme and link the new screen to the create operation.

It is harder to say that to do :D

Hi Sergio. I managed to follow the steps you provided.

Now I created an issue, where I select a value for the custom field in the create issue screen.

I expect that now the issue should not be visible to any user apart from the the user(s) I added to the security scheme.

But it is still visible to a jira user.

Note - the other user is not a jira admin.

Sure you can. It is a native function of Jjira called Issue Security. Just create an issue security scheme and apply to your project.

Then add  the security level  field on the create screen.
