Problem
We want to forbid some issue priorities for certain projects during the issues creation, edit or project workflows transitions screens.
For example, we want to remove issue priorities `Blocker` and `Trivial` from the list of the available options in the currently configured project.
Solution
By using lfRestrictSelectOptions SIL routine we'll easily manage to hide some issue priorities for certain projects. All you have to do is to create the following script and associate it with the main Live Fields configuration on your project, as described here. This way, the issue priorities will be hidden in create/edit/workflow transitions screens.
string[] forbiddenPriorities = {"Blocker", "Trivial"}; //the array of the priorities to restrict
lfRestrictSelectOptions("priority", forbiddenPriorities);
Pay attention to the parameters passed in lfRestrictSelectOptions routine. You have to use quotes ("priority"), in order to pass in the actual field label name for the current screen.
Otherwise, SIL Interpreter will actually get the priority from the current issue.
