Improve implementation of 'Group custom field value' on permission schemes

XMLWordPrintable

    NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Cloud. Using JIRA Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

    Current behaviour
    Trigger: Addition of a 'Group custom field value > your-group-picker-custom-field' to Browse Projects permission in a permission scheme.
    Causes: All project names of projects using that permission scheme to become viewable by all users.
    Already Verified by Atlassian: JST-189143

    Expected behaviour
    The trigger above would make each project name using that permission scheme to be viewable just by members of groups which names are selectable values in the appropriate context(s) for that project(s).

    Documentation
    The current behaviour should be documented.
    Besides other documentation pages, it would be good to add the following phrase under the section Managing Issues via Group Ownership
    Note that granting with Browse Projects permission to a 'Group custom field value' will make all project names using that permission scheme to be viewable by all users.
