To restrict editing access for the Multilevel Select Picker, the Edit Permissions tab is used. Specific users, user groups, and Jira roles can be defined to have editing permissions for the custom field. If editing access is intended for all users, the field should be left empty.
Please note that the create screen has a separate toggle that allows defining whether users without edit permissions can create values in create screens.
