Permissions start Task

[Stefan Wienströer]

Is there a way to prevent people from starting tasks that are not in the current sprint of a project?

Hi @Stefan Wienströer,

In company managed projects, you could add a Condition to your workflow transition that does not allow to transition as long as the Sprint field is not filled out.

At the same time, that is very restrictive and may lead to a configuration that becomes difficult to manage at scale. So I would also recommend to communicate (a lot) with your team members about your work processes, use your daily standup to check in every day with your team about what they are working on and explain the importance of working together on the current sprint.

Hope this helps!
