How can I prevent comments on a closed issue?

[RJ Seymour]

I've added 

jira.permission.comment.denied=true

to the closed status on the workflow according to https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/how-can-i-disable-comment-from-closed-issues-for-Jira-7-10/qaq-p/1017551 but customers are still able to comment on the issues. Does anyone have a working solution for this on Jira 8.x and JSD 4.3.x? Thanks!

Hi,

I just tested this out on my Jira.  And it worked perfectly.  On status "Closed" add property:

The property looks like this:

I tested trying to add a comment both from Jira and from the portal.  In both cases the comment option was not available

Works now on mine too.

The property: 

jira.issue.editable=false 

 worked.

That flag disables issue editing but still allows commenting.

Would anybody know a way to still allow internal comments, but block public comments on an issue once it's closed? 

jira.permission.comment.user and a Property Value of false worked for me, but internal comments would be nice to still add.

(If anybody knows another discussion about this, please let me know!)

Thanks in advance :)

Hey, did you resolve your issue? How to allow making only internal comments in closed issues?

Hi,

I followed the link and maybe that property doesn't work.

See this:

JIRA 6.1.x

Add the property jira.permission.comment.user and make the property value false

Hope that helps

Susan

Edit: This works.

Remember to Publish your workflow after you've changed the properties. The change doesn't come into effect until then and it caught me out when I tested it.

For the Cloud version I used a Property Key of jira.permission.comment.user and a Property Value of false and was successful (once I'd published the change)
