Need help with Structure - Planning Tasks

[Aisha M]

Hi,

I am looking for ways to disable the "Planning Tasks" from the Structure for users ?

Is there any way this could be done from the admin console ? Maybe by disabling any specific modules from the Plugin

Thank you

Hello @Aisha M 

Planning tasks as a feature can't be displayed; however you can:

- limit the users ability to create Planning tasks in a structure by only giving them the View permission access to the structure. This permission doesn't allow to make any changes in the structure, i.e. moving, deleting or adding new items to it, including Planning tasks.
- restrict users from being able to convert Planning tasks into Jira issues. users will be able to create Planning tasks in structures, but they won't be able to convert them, so they will only work locally like folders or Memos.

I hope this helps. If you have more questions about Structure, please reach out to us directly at our support portal.

Best regards,
Stepan

@Stepan Kholodov _Tempo_  Thank you for replying back.

To give more context, for now the users are limited from creating any Planning Tasks due to effectors being disabled.

I want to know if there is any option to hide "Planning Tasks" altogether. That is prevent users from even seeing that its being available under "ADD +"

It is simply not possible - no Structure module disables it, and there is no dark feature that can do the same. Planning tasks are hardcoded and can't be hidden.
Granting the View permission for the structure greys out the Add button altogether, effectively hiding the presence of Planning tasks as well.

Best regards,
Stepan

@Stepan Kholodov _Tempo_ Thank you for the clarification. And I was talking about users who are owners of their respective Structure. 

For now all users irrespective of their permission, get this prompt when trying to create a Planning Task 

"It will be impossible to add it to the structure because of the automation installed: Cannot add items to JQL query result. You can enable manual adjustments in the structure configuration." 

So, was looking for ways to remove that option altogether.

@Stepan Kholodov _Tempo_  One final clarification, is it possible to hide it using another plugin, scriptrunner perhaps ?

[Stepan Kholodov _Tempo_]

@Aisha M Nothing specific I can recommend. Structure has limited support of Scriptrunner's behaviors, so it's hard to say if anything can effectively hide anything in Structure.
I will add the feature request for hiding Planning tasks to our backlog, and we'll start gathering the publics interest in it - maybe more users will want it.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly if you need help with anything else in Structure in the future.

Best regards,
Stepan
