Tempo: prevent logging on subtasks

Question

Is there a way to prevent users from logging hours on sub-tasks? We would like the time to be recorded only on the parent task so that reporting is easier.

If that is not possible is there a good way to create a filter for issues and sub tasks that rolls up this data?

I don't use Tempo.

I just use this method to disable time logging in the parent Task.

@Nadine Racine , I ended up creating a copy of my workflow and added the property key "jira.permission.work.denied" on each of the statuses as @Alexander Pappert  suggested.  Next I added the workflow copy to my workflow scheme and assigned the sub-task issue type to the new workflow.  It is working fine although not the most elegant solution.

I think I may have done better by making a copy of my screen scheme for the sub-task issue type and delete the Tempo fields from the screen.   Jira is so flexible there are more than one way to achieve the desired effect.

Hi @Alexander Pappert

Do you log your time with tempo?

I tried the way it was described on your link, it didn't work for me.

@Pete P did you find another way?
