Problem

In Jira version 6.1.x, configuring inline edits is no longer supported.

Solution

You can recreate the functionality to disable inline edits in Jira by using a Live Fields configuration.

Note that in this solution some fields become unavailable.

To disable the inline edit, enter the following Power Scripts™ Live Fields script.

// Standard fields
string[] fields = {"project","summary","issueType","priority","affectedVersions","fixVersions","components","labels","environment","description","assignee","reporter","dueDate"};
 
//add here any other CF's you may want
fields += "customfield_10100";
 
//Only for view
if(argv["screen"] == "view") {
    for(string f in fields) {
        lfDisable(f);
    }
}

This code renders the following result.

You can adapt the functionality to your purpose by specifying groups of users.
