Hi,

This is not possible out of the box. The most popular solution is scriptrunner plugin using behaviours : https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/behaviours-overview.html

Okay..Once the issue is created, can we make some custom fields non-editable during the transition time ??

You can indeed get the current action name and have condition editing in regards to it.

My advice is you should install the plug-in and try it. You have quite a few examples in the documentation. If you want to retrieve the step (i.e. your transition) check this :
