Hi @mokkapati naveshchowdary ,

By default, if there is a customfield in transition screen, it always appears in that screen whether it has value or not.

If you want to do some tricks in pop-up screen, you can write custom javascript or use Script Runner's Behaviours feature.

JIRA doesn't have a way to restrict editing a field when it is presented. If it is being presented on a transition screen only the work around is to have two transitions. One with a condition the fields is empty where the transition screen presents the field and one with a condition the field is not empty and the transition screen doesn't present the field. The user will only see one transition based on the conditions. However to do this you'll need a plugin that tests for conditions on custom fields. I use JIRA suite utilities but there are others out there that do that.

For example I had a basic wf

open->in progress->in development->done

i had custom field called work started on which will populate current date and time, I had one more transition from Done to Open so after coming back to open we’ll move to in progress so again it is populating new current date and time
