BLOCK STATUS ON GENERALL WORKFLOW

Mateusz Janus
December 17, 2025

Hello Brothers and Sisters,

I have very simple case but I have already lost hope xD

My workflow contains generall statuses (<--ALL).

I want to freeze last statuses DONE and WON;T DO.

So once ticket status changed to DONE user should not be able to "reopen" its.

Any ideas...

Hello @Mateusz Janus 

If the idea is to prevent transitions once a ticket reaches "Done" or "Won't Do", here is a solution:

1 - You should remove the "All" transition and use only common transitions for each status , a transition to "Close" from somes statuses except "Cancel" For exem

2 - Alternatively, as suggested by @Staffan Redelius  , once a ticket reaches "Done" or "Won't Do", it can also prevent all modifications, including status changes

Hi @Mateusz Janus 

To relate to @Staffan Redelius solution.

The values are not set correctly on your end, you can't make up a key, this needs to be an official option.

property key: jira.issue.editable

propert value: false

Hi @Mateusz Janus 

The same logic applies for DC, just the link I provided is to a Cloud KB.

Here is the DC link, https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/workflow-properties-938847526.html

@Mateusz Janus 

If you are able to edit the workflow, or ask an admin to edit if for you, a simple way of solving your issue is to add 2 rules to each of the ALL transitions that you don't want to be usable after the work item status is changed to Done or Won't Do:

The second rule would use Won't Do rather than Done in the rule check

Hi @Mateusz Janus and welcome!

This can be done by setting the workflow properties from Any -> Done and Any -> Closed

Add the property jira.issue.editable = false

Let me know if this helps!

Best regards,
