Hey,

i am trying to set up an automation to basically deny setting a specific property to the Issue Type "Bug". This Property shall only be set by someone with a Specific Role, and all other Roles should not be able to set this Property, but it should be visible at all times. I tried with an Automation that basicly checks for the Role of the Initiatior of the Field Change, but then i can only solve this problem half. If i activate one rule, so that the Field will not change in one direction it works just fine, but as soon as i activate the second automation so it cannot be changed in any direction, those 2 Automations get into an Automation Loop and i end up with it completely not working again.

Welcome to the community. 

If you are looking to set a condition or validator for a custom field, it is best to do so with in the workflow. 

Would you have access to edit the workflow. I would add the condition or validator to the field, and this should work. I do lack some of what you are trying to do so specifics would help. 

Please tell us more and or give us a screenshot to see if we can help more.
