Remove edit button on label field

Hi!

I have a custom field (label-type) called "Reporter Department Code". I want to have it as a label field but I don't want the edit button on issue view screen:reporter_department_code_label.PNG

I have seen that there is a solution for this with the assignee field, inserting javascript code on field description:

<script type="text/javascript"> 
var removeCTE = setInterval(function() {
var editableElms = AJS.$('#assignee-val')
if (editableElms.length) { 
editableElms.removeClass('inactive'); 
editableElms.removeClass('editable-field'); 
editableElms.removeAttr('title'); 
editableElms.find('span.overlay-icon').hide(); 
}},500);
</script>



I am trying to use this method to remove the edit button pencil on my "Reporter Department Code" but I do not succeed:

<script type="text/javascript"> 
var removeCTE = setInterval(function() {
var editableElms = AJS.$('#edit-labels-1047756-customfield_13500')
if (editableElms.length){ 
editableElms.removeClass('aui-icon'); 
editableElms.removeClass('aui-icon-small');
  editableElms.removeClass('aui-iconfont-edit');
editableElms.removeClass('edit-labels');
editableElms.removeAttr('href'); 
}},500);
</script>


What am I doing wrong? Is it possible to remove the edit button (pencil) from issue view screen? Making the custom field as an text-field is not an option, I want to have a label-field.

Br, David Henriksson

Hi There, 

Just remove that field from Edit screen , that will solve your problem.

Thanks

Hi!

No that doesnt solve the problem. My field "Reporter Department Code" is not in Edit screen and the pen is still visibile.
