When an issue is done can you restrict who edits it.

Hello

When an issue is transitioned to the Done status, can you restrict who can edit the issue?

We would like it so that on a specific issue time when status is Done only Admin can edit the issue.

Hi @Anita Pallas ,

Yes, it is possible to restrict who can edit an issue in Jira when it is transitioned to the Done status. You can achieve this by using Jira's workflow properties. Specifically, you can use the "jira.permission.edit" property to restrict editing permissions for a specific status. Here are the steps to achieve this:

Go to Jira administration > Issues > Workflows.
Click on the Edit link for the Workflow you want to adjust.
Select the Status where you want to restrict editing permissions, and then click on Properties.
Add "jira.permission.edit.group" to the Property Key in the Add New Property form.
Add a Property Value as "jira-administrators" to restrict editing permissions to only admins.

After following these steps, only admins will be able to edit the issue when it is in the Done status.

Also, if you feel my input help you please accept the answer.

Regards,
Bhushan

Thanks, can you set this up for a certain issue type only?

Yes, you can configure properties for the workflow that is associated specifically with that particular issue type. However, it's important to note that if the workflow is shared with or associated with other company managed projects, any changes made to the workflow properties will impact those projects as well.
