Make Comments possible / editable even if jira.issue.editable = false

[Dennis Markwart]

Is it possible to allow users to add comments and edit their own comments, even when the property jira.issue.editable is set to false (e.g. in for closed issues)?

@Dennis Markwart by following the 2nd answer of 

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Can-I-make-it-possible-to-edit-comments-but-not-edit-the-issue/qaq-p/456670

and the following doc

https://www.j-tricks.com/tutorials/permissions-based-on-workflow-status

I tried the following properties at "Closed" status and it seems working for me.

Property KeyProperty Value

jira.permission.commenteditown.projectrole	10000
jira.permission.commenteditall.group	denied
jira.permission.edit.group	denied
jira.permission.commentdeleteall.group	denied

By default, one can add/edit comments even if the issue is not editable. If you wish NOT to allow comments on a closed issue, you can create a property on the closed status of jira.permission.comment.denied with a value of '' (empty string).

@Payne thx - But can I also allow users to edit their own comments even when the jira.issue.editable is set to false? The users are allowed to edit their comments via permission scheme, but once the issue ist closed (editable = false) the edit of comments is not possible.

@Dennis Markwart - I was partially correct. I thought that without the jira.permission.comment.denied property users (with the necessary permissions) could both ADD and MODIFY comments of issues in statuses with the property of jira.issue.editable set to false. Through experimenting, though, I now see that only ADDING is allowed in that scenario, and EDITING is NOT allowed. I do not know how to make comments editable when the issue is not editable.
