Team field should not be Editable when removed from Edit screen

XMLWordPrintable

    Issue Summary

    When the Team field is removed from the Edit Issue screen, it still displays a dropdown option to select teams. Users can't alter the team selection but are still able to access the dropdown. This is inconsistent with most other custom fields where removing from Edit screen makes the field uneditable on Issue View. 

    This is by design, due to the need for Team field to be editable in other experiences but is inconsistent with other fields and causes confusion to users.

    Applies to company-managed projects only; team-managed projects do not have Edit screens.
