overriding permissions in transitions

Question

using the workflow transitions it is possible to disable commenting on an issue in certain statuses.
ie by putting jira.permission.comment.user = denied ...

Check the j-tricks blog on this subject

The disadvantage is that if the user wants to progress the issue to another status he/she will not be able to provide a comment (because the permission has been disabled)

Putting a transition specific permission (in the transition properties) doesn't do anything.

Any idea's how to fix this

Hello Florian,

We ended up allowing commenting, and autotransitioning the issue if a comment is provided.  I guess this is no help for your case.
