Assistance with Automating Rule to updates field Despite Non-Editable Status

Hi, I'm trying to set up Global automation, but I'm having trouble. I have a transaction from Qaing/Waiting for PO --> Done. I want it so that when this transaction occurs, a field in the ticket will be updated: 'quarterly planning actual' should match Done. My issue is that the Done status is set as non-editable in its properties. Is there a way to bypass this? Or do it differently? If so, I would appreciate guidance because I haven't found a solution.

Thanks in advance,
Amit

@amit.bakst Welcome to the community!

I believe your rule actor is the Automation for Jira user, if so, then you can add the autoamtion user to the JIra-administrator or some other group (mostly admin) and then you can add the workflow permission properties like jira.permission.edit.group=jira-administrators And remove the current one.

With this change, only users belong to the Jira-administrator group will b able to edit the ticket with automation user as well.

Check with this let me know

Hi @Yogesh Mude ,

As you recommended, I tried to change the permission properties, but it didn't work.

Hi @Yogesh Mude ,

I can confirm that the field we are trying to edit on the Done is available on the Edit issue operation.

This is the property on the 'Done' status; the administrator group is a group we created.image.png

Thank you, does that administators is the Group and if so, then please also make sure that automation user should be part of that group.

Hi @Yogesh Mude ,
How do I identify this user? Is this something I need to create? (automation user)

@amit.bakst Sorry, i tested with projectrole = atlassian-addons-project-access and even tho the automation for jira user is from the add-ons still workflow property will not allow you to edit the field.

Thanks for the checking, thought that it will work but it does not.
