How to make original and Time tracking fields un-editable

Hi @Vishnu Vardhan Chenna 

Just remove your users from the "Work on Issues" permissions. This will result in them not being able to log any work on the time spent field.

As for the original estimate vote and watch these issues:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-20418

Hi @Vishnu Vardhan Chenna , thanks for your question.

You could have a configuration where the Time tracking fields are on the create and view screens and not the edit screen, but then I don't know how they would get updated.

What did you have in mind?

@Valerie Knapp unfortunately you can't simply remove the time tracking fields using the issue screen operation (https://confluence.atlassian.com/servicedeskcloud/configuring-time-tracking-1097176646.html). You can hide them though via the field configuration if you are on a CMP:

Time tracking is always enabled in Jira Cloud projects. You can control whether the feature is used in your projects by:

• Showing or hiding the Time tracking field in your company-managed projects' field configurations. Learn more about field configurations.

• Adding or removing the Time tracking field on your team-managed projects' issue types. Learn how to customize an issue’s fields in team-managed projects.

Hi @Vishnu Vardhan Chenna

You can do one thing in this case, remove "Original Estimate" and "Time Tracking" field from Layout only and keep field available on Create/Edit/View screen. This will hide these fields from view screen and user won't be able to edit, but original value still remain in the field. You can search using JQL. 

Thanks,
