Creating Rules

[Jon]

Hi 

Our jira system consists of a lot of issues that have custom fields filled out throughout the issue lifecycle. issues are linked to epics and there are different statuses on both issues and epics. 

Is there a way to prohibit a field from being changed, or filled in based on the status of a linked epic? 

Specifically, our epics are eventually closed. When closed I would like to prohibit other issues from being linked to that epic and that it would be prohibitied that an issue that is currently on that epic from being changed to a different epic.

Hello,

If you want to prohibit editing in a certain status, then you can use workflow properties. You should add the following property to the required status:

jira.issue.editable = false

hi

I tried this but it still allowed issues to be linked to the epic.  how would I prohibit an issue from being linked to it? 

along the same thread, how would I prohibit an issue from being moved if it is on a closed epic?
