Javascript for FixVersion/s

[Cynthia Fehr]

Hi,

I'm trying to stop users from being able to add new version from the fixVersion field. 

I'm using the following in the description of the Fix Version/s field:

<script type="text/javascript">

AJS.$('#fixVersions')[0].attributes.getNamedItem("data-create-permission").value="false"

 </script>

This sets the attribute data-create-permission in the main window but not in the popup(lightbox)

It seems that

AJS.$('#fixVersions')[0].attributes.getNamedItem("data-create-permission").value

always refers to the fixVersion in the main window. 

Can someone tell me how to select fixVersions in the popup window(lightbox)?

The problem is that you need project admin privileges to have scrum master privileges.

There is a feature request to separate them with over 300 votes and has been open for a long time

So this is a problem for a lot of people.

Do you know how to access that field through javascript?

The ability to create versions on the fly had a lot more votes than that, and that issue is more about delegation of admin in general than reducing functionality. No, I don't know how to do it with javascript, because my users would have killed me for downgrading it. Seriously, training is by far the right approach here.

I'd recommend reviewing the privileges and/or training.  The reason this facility exists is for people with project admin rights really need to be able to do it.  If it is causing you problems, then the issue is not "software bad", but either "humans have project admin when they should not" and/or "humans don't know what they're doing"
