Issue Summary

Users with only Browse project permission (read-only) cannot see fields that are empty in the new issue view. In the Issue Layout, the fields are not configured to be hidden when empty.
Users with read-only access are unaware that the issue may contain other fields in the issue which are left empty.
Users would need Edit Issues permissions to see the field that are empty. But the admin may not want the users to edit the issues.
