Need a list of good add-ons to e-sign artifacts in jira

Question

Hi All,

I need a list of good add-ons which can be used to e-sign artifacts in jira.

I have below requirements as an add-on.

1. Artifacts in jira can be routed for e-sign approval workflow.

2. Once jira artifact like issue or a story is routed for approval then all fields of the artifact should become read-only.

3. User with some specific role should be able to e-sign the artifacts in jira.

4. When user signs jira artifact then e-signature audit trail should be captured in a custom field.

Thank you,

Prasanna

At the risk of losing my jira card. Jira may not be the right product for your use case.

Jira is good at tracking "work" or "tasks". A ephemeral item that can have states and such but doesn't physically exist. (though it may produce physical items)

When you talk about e-signing and making artifacts read only, etc, it really sound like you are looking for more of a Document Management System. Your "Artifacts" are documents, and that workflow is related to that document. Your workflow is all about the document. Versioning. E-signing, making sure the signed copy is immutable.

You can simulate a lot of that in JIRA, but to truly do it, you may be better looking at something else.
