Hide issues based on category?

Sim9

I vaguely recall there was a way to hide issues from certain roles based on category, but I can't remember how to do so (or quite possibly, my memory might be wrong!)

My goal is to be able to lock an issue to the internal dev team only, and have an indicator on the page that it is locked. I have been experimenting with Issue Access Policies, but it doesn't display on the issue view page anywhere that it is locked unless you open the submenu. Category method provides a visual indicator, but I don't recall how to set it up (if it was possible to do so)

The category access policy defines access to issues in that category. You can open that menu by going to the category issue field configuration and clicking the permissions button. Issues with that category are affected by the permissions you set there.

Thank you

Is this the page you are talking about? https://i.imgur.com/H3g6XqS.png

I tried toggling that setting to disable guest access on a new test project, but that alone doesn't seem to have an effect. However, it works on an older project of mine in the same database. Is there something else I need to change in addition?

This popup is labeled "Permission details for "Can change field "category"", so I feel like there's a different one for like 'can view category'...? Sorry if I'm being dense!

Yes that's the one. There might be an issue with the guest permission or something else overriding it, but the setting is just poorly named because it is a component being reused by different field types. If it doesn't work even after setting it, feel free to file a bug report for it 👌

Thanks, I ended up remaking the project and it's working now.
