Restrict editing of issue during a specific state, but still allow to add/remove attachments

Question

I know that I can restrict users from editing an issue in a specific status by adding to the properties of "jira.issue.editable=false".

However, when we do this, it also disabled the users from adding/removing attachments.

I also know that we can use the property of "jira.permission.edit.group=none", however, this allows "all" users with that permission to add/remove attachments.

Is there a way to set it so that "all" users cannot edit the record (not see the edit button), but only one or more project roles can add/remove attachments?  ie, I want Administrators and Developers to add/remove attachments, but not users.

I would have to test. It is possible I think you can restrict the edit of a ticket once it moves into Closed or Done so the only person who can edit is a project admin. I know I setup some conditions in the workflow transitions to only let a project admin move a ticket to any status. I'll let you know what i figure out.

Thanks for looking at this Alan.  But not exactly what I was looking for.

We want the "User" To be able to edit the record in other states, so that will not work for us.

So, basically, the Admin/Developer/User do have ability to "Edit" the record.  But when say it gets to the Resolved state, I don't want any of them to "Edit" the record, but I want the Admin and Developer to be able to add/remove attachments.

After setting up a quick test, you can use the permission scheme to do this. I created a test project where any user had access to view my project but not edit. I also let the permission for any user to add an attachment. It let them create the attachment.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
