disable editing but allow subtask creation

[bdoncaster]

I'd like to disable editing of a parent issue once it's reached a particular workflow step.  But still be able to create sub-tasks.  Currently editing is disabled with the status property "jira.issue.editable = false" but this appears to also disable creation of sub-tasks.  

any suggestions?

Hello @bdoncaster

Thank you for reaching out.

Indeed, the creation of sub-tasks is not allowed when the property "jira.issue.editable = false" is set to its parent, since it changes the issue link field in the parent issue.

Since the creation of sub-tasks can be prevented with a different property (jira.permission.subtasks.create), I created the following feature request to change this behavior:

Allow the creation of Sub-tasks when "jira.issue.editable = false" is set on the parent
