how can I stop users from making any changes, except comments, once a status is reached?

Question

Once a status is reached, I would like to prevent any thing being changed, except comments. What is a good way to do this?

thanks

Um, I did know the answer, I gave one route to it because most people tend to use the diagram nowadays.  The text route only differs in that you could say in step three "In the text view, click on the status"

Nic, I got if figured out. Here is the process, go to workflow > text version > click on the appropriate status you want to affect > go to properties > for the property key use: jira.issue.editable and for the property value use: false.  Meaning you can't edit anything but the comment field. It worked perfect for my requirements.

We will both know the answer next time.

Ok, the page I gave you has the values you can use, but I'm not aware of a really simple clear guide to getting to the place you use them (other than Christian Czaia's course on the subject)

So...

* Go to the workflow you want to do this to
* Edit it (to get a draft)
* In the diagram view, click on the status (let's say "Closed" for now)
* A box with some details should appear to the right
* It should have "properties" at the bottom, so click that
* Now you can add properties/value pairs
