Private and Public Issue Fields

Last modified: 09 October 2024

In YouTrack, you can mark a custom field as Private. Privacy is set by the Private field property, which you can set when you create or edit a custom field.

For private fields, an extra set of permissions determines whether a user can read or update the field.

  • If the field is private, users must have permission to Read Issue Private Fields and Update Issue Private Fields in the project, respectively.

  • For public fields, users only need to have Read Issue and Update Issue permissions.

  • An issue reporter only needs to have the Create Issue permission to read public fields in the issues that they report themselves.

The following use case describes this concept in more detail.
