Hi

Can I block users from editing a specific issue type (user story) after the status is done?

Only a Jira administrator can do this.

You've used a key for "user" and then named a group as the target.  That won't work because groups are not users.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You can only do this in Company-managed projects at present.  To do it:

  • Create (or copy) the workflow you want the issue type to be using.
  • Go into the workflow scheme, and associate the new workflow with the issue type you want to block edits on
  • Edit the new workflow and place the "do not edit" workflow property (jira. issue. editable = false) on the "done" status.

Hello @Noa Tsruya 

For a specific issue type, sadly there isn't. On the other hand, for blocking the users after the status is done, you can use workflow properties, more specifically: jira.permission.edit.denied

Steps:

  1. Create a group of users that you don't want to be able to edit 
  2. For transitions that are leading to Done status you need to add the property mentioned from above
  3. For value you would add the groupId with the ID of your group:

      4. As an example you would have:

Hi @Noa Tsruya 

Yes you can.

Make sure the issue type has it's own workflow, so not shared with other issue types. Otherwise all are impacted.

Edit the workflow and select the "Done" status, select the properties option.

As key add jira.permission.edit.user and as value add jira-administrators (or the name of your group)

Also see documentation here:

Thanks I will try do that.

And I want also that all the issues which are linked to the user story will block too.

For example-

If the user story in done status, the user can not edit the status of the test that is linked to the user story..

Is it possible?

No this can't be done as it relates to the workflow and the properties set on a workflow status.

This doesn't impact linked issues or even other stories that are not in the "Done" state

Hi @Noa Tsruya

Is this the name of the group in Atlassian administration?

I think You need to set the property key as: jira.permission.edit.group

 

Noa Tsruya February 20, 2024

yes, I created a new group -
