How to make the field "story poin" not editable after the creation?

[Max]

Let's say I want to make the field of Story Point editable just on step of creating the Task.

I don't want anyone to edit this field after its creation. So no one should do it at all.

So I've created the three screens

1. For the Create (the task) operation

2. separate screen for the View operation (of the task)

3. and screen for the Edit

Here are the questions:

1. Why is my story point field still editable? I've removed this field from my Edit screen.

2. What should happen if I remove the field of Story Point from the View screen?

I don't see any of the differences.

here is the screen

I've checked the Project name and the issue type - all of them are properly chosen. So what is the problem? I don't get :(

Hello @Max , @Fernando Eugênio da Silva 

While the documentation states that removing the field from the Edit Issue operation screen will make the field not editable, there is actually an unresolved bug that says this does not work and the field remains editable.

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-82548

I recommend that you add your vote to it.

There is no natively available workaround.

If you are willing to acquire a third party app you could look at the Adaptavist Scriptrunner Behaviours app.

Docs: https://docs.adaptavist.com/sr4jc/latest/features/behaviours

Marketplace Link: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1228522/behaviours-scriptrunner-for-jira-cloud?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

While the Behaviours app itself is free, it requires that you have the Scriptrunner app, which is not free.

You could use a Behaviour to make the Story points field read-only on the Issue Details screen.

You can find demo videos for various Behaviours here:

@Max ,  basically you need to separate the Issue Screen of your Issue Type in the project.

If you go to: Project Settings > Screens: You will see that has 3 different options for screens: Create, Edit, View. Each one is responsible for doing a thing in Jira.

Create > All fields present when you click to create Issue

Edit > All fields allowed to be edited after issue created

View > Fields that will be displayed in the issue after created.

You can have different screens for each of these options. So, what you need to do is > Make a copy of your current screen and apply this screen copy for Edit View > Then in this specific screen remove the field Story Point.

The field will still be displayed in the create and view, but will not possible to be edited anymore.

You can see more details here:

@Fernando Eugênio da Silva thank you for the reply!

I've already done all the points you've mentioned here:

separate the Issue Screen of your Issue Type in the project - done (see my second screen above)

You can have different screens for each of these options. - done

"...Edit View > Then in this specific screen remove the field Story Point.The field will still be displayed in the create and view, but will not possible to be edited anymore." - done (I've mentioned the problems on my final 1 and 2 questions) the field "Story points" is still editable :( I have created a separate screen scheme for the TASKS issue + I have created the 3 different screens for the EDIT CREATE and VIEW operation + I have deleted the field "story point" from the Edit screen, but I still can edit the field... so this is my main problem here ^_^ I think I've done all the points you mentioned here :)
