How to remove the field locked stauts?

Hi @James Zhang 

You should only remove Locked status to fix problems within Jira Software. Such fields are locked to prevent accidental changes which can subsequently break the operation of JIRA Software.

Here you can find instruction to unlock those fields.

Best regards,

This is ridiculous! I need to edit the description of a field that is locked so basically I have to recreate the field and add back to all of the forms just to change the description. Complete nonsense!

Hi James,

The quick answer is DON'T!! They are locked for a reason and you should not change those. 

What is it that you are trying to do that you would need to unlock a field? 

[James Zhang]

No, I wouldn't to unlock. I just know why the field locked reason.

[John Funk]

Because these are system fields and have built-in connections and coding to respond in certain ways depending on the field.
