Restrict users from modifying the original estimate field once it has been created

[SAzaruddin_mp]

As an admin, I am the only one authorized to modify the Original Estimate, and no other users should be able to change its value.

Is there a way to restrict users from editing the Original Estimate field?

Your assistance in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated as it is an urgent requirement.

Thanks,

Shaik

Hey @SAzaruddin_mp ,

For company-managed projects, a valid workaround without additional apps is 

• not having the field of interest on the edit screen
• adding the field of interest on a transition screen
• have a global reflexive transition (from any status to itself,) adding the transition screen with your field of interest
• add a condition to this transition, e.g. via user in group or project role matching with the users who should be eligible to run the transition/edit the field.

Please let me know if that solves your problem!

Regards from Germany,
Thorsten

Hi SAzaruddin,

If you have ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud installed, you can achieve this requirement using the behaviours feature.

As mentioned in the documentation page here, behaviours support the Original Estimate field on the Issue View screen for company-managed projects.

Using this, you could make the Original Estimate field read only when an issue is viewed.

I hope this information helps.

Regards,

Kristian

Hi 

You can remove access for other users to edit the Original Estimate by removing it from the Edit Issue screen. This will prevent them from modifying it via UI.

To restrict access to only admins, you can create a transition (to the same status) that includes the Original Estimate field on the transition screen. This transition will be accessible exclusively to only admins.

Hi @Tuncay Senturk ,

If we remove the edit permission for the issue, users will be unable to modify any fields. I only want to prevent changes to the original estimate value while allowing them to edit other fields.

[Tuncay Senturk]

No, you will only remove the Original Estimate from the edit screen, this way it will not be editable by any user.

I have removed that field in Edit screen but it still editable in view screen

These are the Editable fields in that issue type
