May consider below workarounds:
- Go to Project Settings > Work Item Types.
- Select the work item type (e.g., User Story, Bug).
- Click Rules.
- Create your rule with the condition:
Current user is not a member of [Your Group]. - Add one “Make read-only” action for a field.
- Save the rule.
- Now click Export Process (if using Inherited Process) or use Azure DevOps REST API to retrieve the rule definition.
- Edit the JSON to include multiple fields under the actions array:
"actions": [
{
"actionType": "MakeReadOnly",
"targetField": "Field1"
},
{
"actionType": "MakeReadOnly",
"targetField": "Field2"
}
]
9. Re-import or update the process using the API or admin portal.
