How to limit access to a custom field by role?

[Scott Steves]

I've got a few checkbox fields that i need to restrict ability to edit by role in Java Workflow Manager (JWM).

How is this done?

The Secure Fields app provides you "secure" version of several custom fields.

It seems to me that it could be a perfect solution to your use case.

Hi @Scott Steves ,

You'll need a workflow extension marketplace app or something like ScriptRunner to limited who can edit a field specific field. Out of the box, the permission doesn't go down to the field level. The permission is at the issue level where you can restrict who can edit a ticket.
