Closed Issue editable

Question

Hello,

I have a weird problem. We have 2 types of issues, Incident and Problem, and the Incident can be edited after it's status is Closed and the Problem cannot be edited after it's status is Closed (note that they were created before I came to be an admin). I looked up and I know about the jira.issue.editable, and I manage to make the Problem editable. Whoever the Incident does not have this property created. My question is how Incident type issue does not have the jira.issue.editable property and still can be modified? There are other properties or there is something that I don't know regarding workflows?

Thank you!

Yes indeed, since the Edit Issues (and other permissions) are determined in the permission scheme and are independent of status.

So the default behaviour is that the user can modify a closed issue?

Maybe I'm confused, but without a property, an issue can be modified in a 'Done' status category. Only when you want to restrict modification, you need to add a workflow property.
