Create Button on Jira

Jagriti

hi all

 

There is a create button on jira which can be used to create new issues.

I want to restrict the type of issues which users can create by clicking this button.

currently you can create Epics, Tasks ,Stories and Incidents ,directly by clicking the button.

I want to restrict this to only allow creation of Epics .( I do not want users to create tasks/stories without epics, so they must create an epic and then add issues in it )

 

thanks

That's not how the create button process works.  Creating an issue allows you to select the project and issue type within it.  To do what you are suggesting means rewriting every segment of code that leads to a "create issue" process, and makes your user's experience of using the tool a bit of a nightmare (especially those who have used it before - you're going to get massive complaints as to why you've crippled it)

Take a more cajoling/persuading and vastly less coding route - create a validator for stories that checks that there is an Epic Link when creating stories.  Then they will have to put something in to it, linking stories to epics, they won't lose data when trying to create, and you only need one line of logic (more lines of code possibly, depending on what apps you have)
