Min/Max limits control

QK

 

We set min and max limits in the columns . When we already have maximum number of issues in these columns, we know that  this column will become red if we move another issue in corresponding column. 

 

I have set min and max in the columns. Let's assume that max number of issues should be 10. If I already have 10 issues in this column and another issue will be moved there, the column will become red. 

I want to prevent to move the issues if we already have maximum limit filled. The maximum number of issues shouldn't be exceed in the corresponding column. Is this possible? 

Maybe I can write some condition in the workflow , where I point that if the issues in this column reached the limit, then it wouldn't be possible to move issue.

 

Thank you in advance

I don't know of a way to do what you want here.  But from searching other posts on the topic, such as https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Can-JIRA-quot-truly-quot-enforce-WIP-on-a-kanban-board/qaq-p/416395 the general recommend appears to be not to try this.

The problem I see with trying to do this would be that an issue can appear on multiple different boards simultaneously (at least potentially).  While an issue can only belong to a single workflow at any given time, the fact it can be on different boards with different settings makes this potentially problematic.   What happens if someone creates a private filter/board with that issue on it, and can then set the max to be 1.   If you could implement your change, you might not know why you can't transition the issue because other users wouldn't be able to see this private board.

Sorry this probably isn't what you were looking for, but I hope it helps.
