Linked Category Field

Choose a custom single-select field to link as the Work Item Category. With this field activated Signatures Types will only be available to Work Items that are mapped to this field’s values in the Signature Types table.

User Fields Control

The User Field restriction allows administrators to limit signing to users that are listed in a specific set of fields on each issue. The User Fields list includes all built-in or custom user fields (single-select or multi-select) in the Jira instance. To revert to default settings, remove the fields in the list.

A warning message with the restriction reason will be displayed in the Execute Signature dialog (and the Execute Signature button will be disabled) if the current issue is not able to be signed:

To revert to default settings, de-select all issue fields in the list.
