Workflow property: jira.permission.edit.group not allowing the tabs to be visible on edit screen
Platform Notice: Cloud - This article applies to Atlassian products on the cloud platform.
Summary
After setting the property jira.permission.edit.group = group_name on the workflow status the following behaviour is observed for the users part of the group:
- If the tabs with custom fields contain no values while creating an issue, the tabs are not visible on the edit and view screen.
- If any tab with custom fields is filled while creating an issue, the tab will be visible and another tab where the custom field contains no value is not visible.
Note: The tabs with custom fields are present on all edit, create and view screens.
Environment
Jira Cloud
Cause
The property jira.permission.edit.group = group_name makes the issue uneditable for the group members.
Solution
Use the property jira.permission.edit.group = group_id which should work as expected.
Note: The visibility of the tabs remains the same for users who are not part of the group.
