Hello.
In one project we are dealing with std. Jira items Story/Task/Subtak and are used to organize work in Sprints, using different boards. So far all well.
No we introduced a new issue type (Change Note), which have to follow a much more restrictive workflow, which allows transitions and modifications (only particular fields by special screens) only to particular project roles at particular issue states.
Since we cannot simply disable the "Edit Issues" from within the project Permissions settings - that would impact the handling of the std. issues types as explained above - we designed the workflow for the Change Note issue types in a way, where most states (except the initial one) have the "do not edit flag" (property).
In order to being able to see Changes Note's in the Backlog, we mapped Change Notes states to std. board states (To Do, In Progress, Done). Now we find our Change Notes in the Backlog.
But, if we now try to add such a Change Note to a Sprint, we get the message "This issue cannot be edited because of its workflow status".
Even if we do not 100% understand, why Jira is talking about "editing" in this case, we hope there's a solution for us, to deal with our Change Notes in sprints.
I hope i was able to make myself clear and there's someone out there who can teach us how to make it work.
