Field not editable

[Wolfgang Reis]

I want a field not editable on a screen mask (also read-only).

How is this possible?

You can't really do this. A field is either on the screen (and hence edit-enabled if the screen is an update of some sort) or it's not.

A couple of the system fields have some permissions around them (e.g. assignee only appears if you have assign-issue permission, fix version only appears if you have resolve), but they're exceptions to the rule and don't appear read-only anyway, they just don't appear on update screens at all if you don't have the right permissions.

You'll need a plugin to provide this - the "behaviours plugin" is the one I'd reach for.

Hi there, did you specify any permission scheme on editing the field? You could refer the following page for more information. https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Managing+Project+Permissions. Good Luck. Regards John Chin

There are no field permissions in Jira, unless you have a plugin to provide some, or custom field plugins that implement something.
