Block subtask conversion or force status?

Question

Hello,

I would like to create a Jira project were task status can only be change by manager and subtask status can be change all users. I do it by using workflows but I found a "workaround" where user can create a subtask, convert it to task and select any status for this one, bypassing "change status" rights.

Can I block this (disable convert subtask to task) or force converted task's status (maybe with workflow configuration)?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Alright, I found another option that is a lot more simple. Apparently all you need to do is...

Remove subtask from Issue Type Scheme for that project and not subtasks allowed.  Answered my own question.

Thanks for your help, Raynard.

Unfortunately, this solution disable the conversion for all projects and I would like to block it only for one.
