Hide "Epic Link" column when editing issue, but allow to set "Epic Link" when creating issue?

[zaharovvv_suek_ru]

Hey, guys!

Is it possible to hide or prevent editing "Epic Link" column when editing issue, but allow to set "Epic Link" when creating issue? This rule should be applied just for issues which have "Epic Link". 

I have a chance to use ScriptRunner.

Hello @zaharovvv_suek_ru

You can use ScriptRunner Behaviours for this

Add-ons -> Behaviours - Add

Add mapping to your project and issue types

Fields -> Add -> Epic Link 

Add server-side script on that field

if (getActionName() != "Create") {
    getFieldById(getFieldChanged()).setHidden(true)
}

It will be looks like this

@Mark Markov Thank you very much for your reply!

I've forgot to say that this should applied just for issues which have "Epic Link". 

I've tried to use the following code: 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
def epicLink = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName('Epic Link');
def epic = issue.getCustomFieldValue(epicLink);

if (getActionName() != "Create" && epic) {
   getFieldById(getFieldChanged()).setHidden(true)
}

 However, I see the error: The variable [issue] is undeclared.

How can I check whether there is an 'Epic Link' ?

Thanks in advance.

Because behaviours doesnt have issue variable.

Try to use 

def epic = underlyingIssue.getCustomFieldValue(epicLink);

 instead

Thank you very, very, very much! It worls like a charm!

The full code looks like this:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
def epicLink = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName('Epic Link');
def epic = underlyingIssue.getCustomFieldValue(epicLink);

if (getActionName() != "Create" && epic) {
    getFieldById(getFieldChanged()).setHidden(true)
}

Hello @zaharovvv_suek_ru

You have to customize the screen scheme definition. Basically make sure that "Epic link" field is available on create and view screen and not present on edit screen.

Please read the docs here as to how you can create screen scheme and map it with issueType

Ok, then please go with the answer provided by @Mark Markov

Hi!

Yes, it is possible. You should edit the Screen Scheme associated with the project to make 2 different screens for edit and view.

This article should help to understand this operation.
