      Issue Summary

      Story Points custom field can be edited/viewed even though the field is removed from the Edit/View screens because under issue layout still present under Hidden fields when is Empty. This is inconsistent with most other custom fields where removing from Edit screen makes the field uneditable on Issue View. 

      This behaviour is by design, due to the need for Story Points field to be editable in other surfaces; but is inconsistent with behaviour of most fields - causing confusion among users and admins.

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