Restrict access based on Issue Fields

Hi

I have created a sample project in JIRA and while creating/editing an issue, how can I restrict the access based on the fields in an issue.

For example, consider a few fields in the issue:

1. abc

2. def

3. xyz

And there are two user groups - developers and leads

I would like to restrict the access such that the leads should have access to all the 3 fields where as the developers should have view access to all the three, but edit access to only 1 & 2. How can I achieve this issue field based access?

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks in advance!

You can't out of the box. JIRA doesn't have field level security. There may  be a plugin that does, maybe the Behaviours one. Maybe through scripting. The only way to simulate it is to have the fields only on the view and a transition screen only those users (I suggest using project roles) can execute.
