JIRA Behaviour Plugin

[Karthick Sambasivam]

Hi,
We have created a custom field called "Special Release" and defined a condition using Behaviour plugin where the field is editable only for Project Manager role. But when I login as Business Analyst, initially the field is in read-only mode but when I click on Configure fields-->Check off Special Release and again Check Special Release the field is editable now.
We have started using this plugin and now we found this issue and not sure what to do. Please help

• We have many roles and now anyone can edit any fields because of this issue. Please advise!

What are the issues that they are facing?

[Karthick Sambasivam]

We have read-only fields for specific project roles. Due to this plugin issue, when the users select configure fields, uncheck and check custom fields the read-only fields are editable for all the project roles. Can you advise any workarounds? We have almost 750 users and getting 'n' number of emails escalating about this issue. Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

[JamieA]

what are they escalating, that they can write a field that they should not be able to? How come this suddenly became an issue.

Just an idea of an workaround: make the field read-only for everyone. Allow edit through a workflow transition only Project Manager role is allowed to. You will need an other field on that workflow screen to copy its value to Special Release field with a post function.

Please help us. Due to this issue all the roles can edit the read-only fields.

JIRA Version 6.0.3 and Behaviour plugin version 0.5.10. I am sorry. I am new to Atlassian Answers so not sure how to use labels.

[JamieA]

what version of jira and the plugin? Also out of interest, why did you not use any labels referencing the plugin?
