One Project multiple groups but allow only one group to edit one customized field ?

[Kunal Jha]

In Workflow ,

Open -> In Progress

In Progress --> Updated

Updated --> Approved (Field project_status set to Approved)

Approved --> Closed(Work Complete)

but if someone edits the Tikcets and put this ticket into later stage.

Approved  --> In Progress/ Open/Updated (Clear the field project_status to None)

if any transition is made from approved state to previous steps project_status having value approved should also clear itself.

Condition :

- multiple group are working under this project (group1,group2, group3 ).

- and project_status  field value approved  should be set by only group3 and if any changes made in the ticket by any one this ticket then  project_status  field must set to None instead of approved.

How can we achieve this ?

JIRA doesn't have field level security. Some plugins may. you may be able to do this with scripting. Otherwise you can remove the field from the edit/default screen and only put it on a screen shown in a transition only group 3 is allowed to execute. I've don't this several times.
