How to disable description editing on click

[Sergi Q]

Hello everyone.

I apologize if this question is duplicated; I have searched before but couldn't find if it has already been resolved.

I have noticed that, on the page of an Issue, when clicking on the description to select an item, it switches to editing mode. Without discussing whether this is usable or not, is there a way to deactivate this behavior?

Thanks!

Hello,

You can remove the capability to create next-gen project.

Go to Jira settings -> System -> Global Permissions. And make modification to the Create Next-gen Projects permission.

I have the same exact issue. Is there a way to use the new project template but assign predefined permissions schemes so they cannot view these type of projects? The only way I found how to do it is to assign the project access to Private when creating the project then add the individual users you want.

We actually discovered how to do this.  You must make a board private, then under Project Settings >> People you can add Jira groups.  This is very unintuitive though, anyone creating a project assumes that the open setting sets the default permissions group, not literally everyone.  I would remove the recommended from Open and set default to Private

Was there a resolution for setting the default permission level of a next-gen project to be set to private?

@John Seminatore That does not exist (maybe is because of the structure of the next-gen projects?)
