Is there any restriction (exept the workflow order) working for admins?
Seems not to me.

Have experienced the same. Argued to myself that if I would like to change the data, i could do it in the DB. So it wouldn't change a thing, if restrictions would work. It would only slow down my attempt. Admins are evil^^ You have to trust them.

Required data could be erased afterwards. So it doesn't matter, too.

But for the good feeling restrictions should be enabled.

Vote for it: +1

PS.: thinking about it admins shouldn't be in worker roles.. like in the Linux-world adviced

But after I attached a role to my administrator user to that project, it continues to ignore that "required" field permission.

Currently, admin users inherits workflow/fields permissions for all roles. So if the field is not required for at least one role, it's not required for admins. But if you set the field required for all roles, then it will be required for admin users too.

I think this should be an option in the application settings ...

Well i think, the whole admin-permission system should be more "flexible" more settings to set admin permissions to each role. and remove those admin checkbox. This way, we could define some "mini-admins" which could define custom fields, but can't change systemconfigurations and so on.

I have this problem too. I'm testing the new Issue permission and changing field permissions doesn't affect any ussers

Trere is a strange behaviour in the app/models/issue.rb model.

A tracker (issue type) has to have a required custom field in ALL ROLES the user is using on a project, for the field to be actually required.

This way I can't have roles that give just specific permissions.

I think that from the roles the user have on a project, only the roles that can change a tracker (issue) to a certain state should be checked. Roles that have no meaningful workflow could not be determinant to if a field becomes readonly or required.

Unfortunately a recent change in 2.6.5 interferes with my patch. Anyway, here's the patch against redmine 2.6.3, maybe it can be adapted:

<     workflow_permissions = WorkflowPermission.where(:tracker_id => tracker_id, :old_status_id => status_id, :role_id => roles.map(&:id))
---
>     vroles = WorkflowTransition.where(:tracker_id => tracker_id, :new_status_id => status_id, :role_id => roles.map(&:id)).pluck(:role_id) & roles.map(&:id)
>     workflow_permissions = WorkflowPermission.where(:tracker_id => tracker_id, :old_status_id => status_id, :role_id => vroles)
