Can JIRA set a customfiled visible to a typical group?

[xinan liu]

I want to set a customfiled which can be seen only by a typical group, can JIRA do that? Thanks!

You need a plugin for that. e.g JIRA Field Security Plugin:

Maybe you can also do something with java script, but I'm no expert for that.

Remember that javascript is not in the slightest bit secure - the field is given to the browser and then the javascript hides it. It's still in the source of the pages. Most use cases are fine with that, but it doesn't work if you really need to hide the data completely.
