We have fields within trackers that we want to allow to be modified when the tracker is in a particular state, but then read only when in other states. E.g. we have fields which allow the scope of a change to be defined and are completed early in an artefact lifecycle, but once agreed we don't want users to be able to change this field.

Similarly with initial estimate - we want to track how much something was originally estimated to cost against the actual cost; at the moment to verify that no one has changed the initial estimate later in the lifecycle we would have to do some form of reporting (probably involving exports and excel with macros). It we would be easier if we could just stop the field being changed.

The config of it could be added to the 'Advanced Transition' workflow settings in a similar way to the visible setting?
