Description of the issue

[Deleted user]

Hello guys,

Is there any configuration that allows a project role to always edit the description, in any state of the incident?

Thank you for your answers.

hi guys!

at the time of giving the editing permissions the user can edit the entire incident and the client does not want that, they just need to edit the description.

Are you seeing a case now where someone can't edit the description depending on the state?

Check if your workflow uses the workflow property jira.issue.editable in the transition leading to the state you can no longer edit in. That property is what makes the issue uneditable.

If you remove that, then anyone can edit the issue in that state again. 

If you however want to limit who can edit it depending on state, then yes you will need Behaviors or Live Fields

Hi Vanessa,

Any project role can be granted the ability to edit issues. Are you asking if there is a way that the role could edit just that one field? If so, I think that is where Hernan was going with the Behaviors suggestion.

I would consider start using behaviors for this
