Disable changing of a field

[Joe Harmon]

I am trying to find out if I can disable the editing of a field when it is in a particular status.  I have scriptrunner and wanted to know if this can be done with the scriptrunner behaviors.

@Joe Harmon 

I'm doing something similar with one of my own custom fields. You could update the 'if statement' to access the issue's status instead of its project key. 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def field = getFieldByName("Priority Number")

def customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(field.getFieldId())

def fieldConfig = customField.getRelevantConfig(getIssueContext())




if (issueContext.projectObject.key != "INNP"){

    field.setReadOnly(true) 

}

[Joe Harmon]

You don't know what the syntax for that would be do you?

[Judah]

def issueStatus = issue.getStatus().getName()

See what that gets you.

Thanks, I'll try it out

New to scripting.  Something like this @Judah ?

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def field = getFieldByName("Original Due Date")

def customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(field.getFieldId())

def fieldConfig = customField.getRelevantConfig(getIssueContext())

def issueStatus = issue.getStatus().getName()

if (issueStatus = “Development”){

    field.setReadOnly(true)

}

@Joe Harmon I tweaked yours a little and got the below to work on my instance. 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()

def issue = underlyingIssue

def field = getFieldByName("Story Points")

def issueStatus = issue.getStatus().getName()

if (issueStatus == "Ready for Development"){

    field.setReadOnly(true)

}

[Judah]

You will need to change the field name and the status name, but that should do the trick

[Joe Harmon]

Thanks, I assume you are using a behavior for this?

[Judah]

That is correct

[Judah]

Please let me know if it works

[Joe Harmon]

Yes that worked, thanks for all your help.

Hi @Joe Harmon 

This article here does not say how to do it with Scriptrunner but might give you some ideas how this can be achieved without Scriptrunner.

HTH,

Yeah those aren't going to work for me, but thanks for the suggestion.  I know there is a way to set a field to read only with scriptrunner behaviors, but trying to find good script examples of doing that during while only in a certain status.
