How to add permission to issue with specific field?

[Urszula Forenc]

Hi,

I'd like to add permission (to work on and see issues) to issues where Custom Field "Position" is - lets say - "xx". When the field is "yy" it (issue) should be hidden for this user.

Is it possible without coding?

Thank you in advance

Hi @Urszula Forenc

Nope, you can not add/apply the permission-based on Custom Filed.

Jira does not have field level security but might be https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/23216/field-security-plugin-for-jira?hosting=server&tab=overview add-on helps you.

Please have a look at this.

Hi 

We also have similar situation where we to grant the edit permission to one of the custom field to specific user/group.

Is there any option in Jira ver 8.?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

No.  8 does not do this and Atlassian have said they're never going to implement anything like it.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist- · Accepted solution]

No.  Jira has no field level controls like that.  You will need add-ons or coding to achieve it.

Hi!

It's possible but requires some action and it wouldn't be handy to use.

You should:

• remove this field from all the screens;
• edit the workflow to create new transition from the status back to itself;
• create new screen and associate the newly created transition with it;
• add the required field to the screen
• allow only users from a specific group/role to perform this transition.

Note, that this field wouldn't be visible when you "View" or "Edit" the issue. It only becomes visible/editable when you perform this special transition.
