Is it possible to put permission on issues based on a custom field?

[Kristín Bestla Þórsdóttir]

Fx. I have a custom field called Groups and contractors that need to be able to work on issues within various projects. I would like them to only see issues that have their group assigned to.

Is this possible somehow?

Hi @Kristín Bestla Þórsdóttir ,

you should use "Issue-Level-Security" for this purpose.

Look here:

Hello,

You can use custom fields of user and group types in the permission schemes. That is why you do not need security levels.

Go to project settings -> permissions. Find the browse project permissions and set your custom field there.

Thanks @Alexey Matveev - I tried that to begin with but since the custom field is a drop down field with more than one options it did not work :)

The custom field should be a user or group type.
