Fields visibility depending on issue Status

[Andrea Maria Loi]

Hello,

we need some (custom) fields depending on issue's status.
For example "estimated effort" has no sense until no estimation has been performed and it could at least make confusion.
In fact they are added during the process.

Could you, please, help me?

If useful, we have these addons:
- Jira Misc Workflow Extensions
- Automation for Jira

Hello, you can do it without addons, just do the following:

* separate edit and view screens

* add "estimated effort" only on view screen

* create a screen with only "estimated effort" field an add it to transition from status where estimation happens (make it required if you desire so)

This way only after the issue was estimated and something was written into the field it will appear on issue screen.

Hello Ilya,
thank you very much for your (immediate!) answer.
This is perfect for fields that should be encoded during the transition and never updated.
But some fields of mine should not be mandatory (possibly they could be encoded after the transition) or should be computed automatically.
So for a few fields I am afraid that I need some ideas more.
But again thanks a lot
