How can one prevent changes to the description based on the Story Status?

Question

Hello Community,

We need to prevent our business from making changes to the description once the story status has changed to Ready.

How can one achieve this in JIra (cloud).

Thanks and Regards,

Shiv

Thanks for clarifying @Alexey Matveev. Yes this restricts editing all fields on the issue. Not just the Description field.

No way to edit restricting a single field.

Hello,

I am afraid, that you can not prevent a single field from editing by using workflow properties as @Bhushan Nagaraj mentioned. By using workflow properties you can only disable editing of all fields.

There is no way to restrict editing of a single field in Cloud.

Hey Shivraj,

Please take a look at Advanced Workflow Configuration - Properties at

https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/advanced-workflow-configuration-776636620.html#Advancedworkflowconfiguration-transitionproperties

Hope that helps.

Note, as Alexey points out below, this restricts editing the whole issue and not just the Description field. There is no way to restrict editing a single field.
