Can I set a custom_field as value of the property jira.permission.edit.group

[Kris Dugardyn]

I have custom field with the users that can verify an issue.

In the workflow step permission I can put the jira.issue.editable property to false so nobody can edit in that step the issue.

In the past I was using jira.permission.edit.projectrole to give access to edit the issue.

Due to changes this property is not flexible enough but I create already a customfield that is holding all the users who can do a transition and now I want to use the same field to give edit rights to those persons.

I found a property jira.permission.edit.group but I can't find how to set the value of this property to a custom field.

Can someone help me with this?

Hi Kris,

as far as I know and it has been documented by Atlassian and lots of other people the jira.permission property only supports groups, project roles, and users. I haven't seen any references to custom fields in combination with this workflow property in years.

Best, Max

Thanks Max,

If there was a way, probably it was already tested and integrated.

Is there another way to restrict editing the request to the users that are placed in a custom field? 

All suggestions are welcome.
