@AngelinaIgnatova, oh, maybe I misunderstood [your post on RFC-25](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/rfc-25-superseded-by-rfc-29-app-access-rule-followup-to-new-app-data-access-apis/72977/19) where your screenshots show text about “_fields associated with an app_”. That is what I mean with “_locked custom fields_”. Please correct me if I have the terminology wrong here. Anyway, if I understand you correctly then these _fields associated with an app_ are only available for Forge apps, _not_ Connect apps, right? Your links point to the Forge docu, but I don’t see similar pages about such “locked” fields in [the Connect documentation](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/about-connect-modules-for-jira/) 😕 Since our app is a Connect app, we would need it for Connect. Thanks for any clarification. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/rfc-29-app-access-rule-revised-followup-to-new-data-access-apis/73792)._
