How can I prevent users from deleting issue links?

Hi guys,

I need to prevent the user from removing the link from an issue but I haven't found anything natively that restricts the action.

Is there any way to do this through the scrip runner or even, an action mode to link again automatically after removal?

Hi,

Not even Scriptrunner can do this - there is no way to hook into the delete link process, either on the back-end or by amending the UI (with behaviours)

You could get close on a Server/DC install with Scriptrunner - "UI fragments" could be used to remove the delete option from the menu (but you could still do it via REST or other ways of editing the issue)

@Letícia Deus ,

If you go into your permission schemes, i was expecting this feature to be there for configuration, but unfortunately it wasn't there. We can restrict deletion of issues though via configuration. But to achieve what you are looking for might have to be done via script runner. If i come across any other solution, i will update it.
