How to prevent editing of an issue in the done state

Question

I have associated the "View Screen" with the state transition "Done".  I set the property value to jira.issue.editable = false, but the Edit screen still displays?

How do I get rid of the Edit screen from displaying?

Have a look at the following posts that touch on the step vs status. They are a bit old but the concept is still the same.

* What is the difference between step and status?
* On the usage of JIRA workflow status and steps

You can also find some insights about it at

* Add new status and steps to Jira server workflows
* Workflow properties
* Working with workflows
* Issues are Editable In Closed State

Also, you can find some additional insights into the editable property at

* Jira Workflow Properties: The great unknown
* jira.permission.edit vs jira.issue.editable properties

In fact, I came across many more references to this topic but those should be a good starting point so that you can get more clarity around that.

Hello, what do you mean associated with a step?

Ivan Lima · Answer

Hey @Nannette Mori, the workflow property mentioned should be associated with a step instead. This property does not affect transitions or transition screens.
