Is it possible to make Description field read only when an issue is in particular status

I am trying to make the description field read only for users in Project Manager role once it reaches a particular status. I am in Jira server 8.2 version.

Hi @Mitali Seal

Yes ii's possible. One option is to use a plugin power scripts with live fields. You can find information here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-Integrations/It-s-Alive-How-to-make-the-most-of-Live-Fields-so-your-boss/ba-p/851848

We use it a lot to hide fields and make them not editable for specific statuses and roles/groups.

Thanks Lim for your prompt response. Is it a free plug-in?
