Can we hide Create Branch when the issue is in certain Status?

Question

We want to restrict user to be able to Create Branch when the bug is in Open status or in Progress only. Is there any way to hide the Create Branch link for other statuses? I tried to inject some javascript into Announcement Banner but it doesn't work.

Thanks for any advice.

Hello,

Thank you for all your feedback and suggestions about this matter.

As we understand that this would be a useful feature for JIRA, we created the following feature request to get it implemented through JIRA UI:

- Disable "create branch" option depending on issue status

Feel free to vote and watch the suggestion to increase its priority and also receive notifications about any updates.

We hope to have a nice tracking of how many users are requiring this functionality and put some effort to get you with any options to configure it. Thanks!

I used the following javascript:
------------------------------------------------
function contentChanged(){
   if (AJS.$("#status-val").text() == "Closed")
  {   AJS.$("#viewissue-devstatus-panel").hide()
  }
 }

AJS.toInit(contentChanged);

JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function(e, context, reason) {
      contentChanged();
});

------------------------------
With this, it hid the Create Branch section for few seconds and showed it back up again.
