Keep issue type in workflow scheme but do not allow it to be created

DJX

I have a project with two issue types. Old-Item and New-Item. There are also two workflows, Old-Workflow and New-Workflow.

I would like to be able to allow all the Old-Item issues to continue with the Old-Workflow, but I do not want to allow Old-Item s to be created. How can I do this?

Edit

Based on the feedback I think I know what my options are for the original question. Does the answer change at all if I ddo not have a need for the tasks to be on a separate workflow? As far as I know, the issue type need to be in the Issue Type scheme for the project, which is where the "Create New Issue" options are fed from.

Add a new project role , dont add any user in this project role .

Now add a condtion to the workflow on the create transition , Only users with this project role should be able to execute the transition .

Not possible AFAIK, you need to follow a javascript hack similar to the one here - https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/119531/customizing-the-sub-task-types-based-on-the-issue-type

Thanks for your feedback. I will consider it. I found a temporary workaround of modifying the Old-Workflow "Create" transition to require Admin privileges. This will prevent users from creating the issue type, but they could still waste time filling out the form and won't know they can't create it until they press the "Create" button.

@DJX, I was thinking of the same method.

If you're worried about users wasting their time, you may also want to rename the Issue Type to someting like "Old-Item Do Not Use" or something

Yeah, good one.

Mizan, I guess @DJX already said this in the above comment.
