“if an Epic issue type is Invalid,Closed, Done, Resolved” then an issue cannot be added to that Epic

Hi Team,

Could you please help me “if an Epic issue type is Invalid, Closed, Done, Resolved” then an issue cannot be added to that Epic.

The issue we have run into is, when folks might not pay close attention, they may select an epic that is closed/invalid  and put a new story/bug in it.

We’d like to prevent this user behavior if possible. It was proposed we might see if a rule could do that.

•  Modify the drop down for Epic Link in a Story – can we filter out Closed, Done, Invalid, Resolved Epics from this drop down?
• Can a rule be implemented that would prevent a Story from linking to an Epic if that Epic is Invalid or Closed?
