I need to lock fields after they pass a certain status.

[Sofia Grunspan]

In my Change Management process I have a workflow and when it passes to a certain status I need to lock or to restrict change the information except for assignee and reporter. 

I've read the suggestion to to take out the fields in edit screen the problem is that I may need to edit the fields when it's in some status between creation and the one I need to block the edition.

Can I do it without an add on? 

The instance I'm working on is Cloud.

Hi @Sofia Grunspan and welcome to the community,

You can use  workflow properties to achieve that. Take a look at the documentation https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/use-workflow-properties/

Insert on the specific status the following properties:

jira.permission.editable.assignee -> true

jira.permission.editable.reporter -> true

Hi Alex and thank you for your answer, if I use this properties:

jira.issue.editable -> false

 jira.permission.editable.assignee -> true

jira.permission.editable.reporter -> true

Will I be able to lock the fields except assignee and reporter or it's better to put:

 jira.permission.editable.(field I want to lock) -> false

for each field I don't want to be edited?

Thanks again.

@Sofia Grunspan from your initial post, which I take that it your business requirement, I would place only:

 jira.permission.editable.assignee -> true

jira.permission.editable.reporter -> true

The above will grant only the permission to edit the fields to whoever is assignee or reporter.

Thanks for the clarification
