restrict logging of time on parent items (like story) however allowing them on the child items

[Ankur Dayal]

We want to restrict logging of time on parent items (like story) however allowing them on the child items (liek sub-task of a story).

I have created separate workflows for Story and Sub-tasks. I tried to add a property "jira.permission.work.denied" with value "denied" in my Story workflow. It worked as desired by restricting entry of time on the story, however it also restricted entry of time on the sub-task although as I mentioned above i have a separate workflow defined for sub-tasks which does not have the property "jira.permission.work.denied".

Can you please help me in understanding what is it that I am doing wrong here?

Dear @Ankur Dayal,

it seems that the sub-task workflow inherit the property of the parent - could be a bug or by design.

Try to add one of following properties to the sub-task workflow:

"jira.permission.subtasks.work.projectrole" "<one of your roles>"

"jira.permission.subtasks.work.group" "<one of your groups>"

Eventually you have to apply this also to the story workflow - because of this inherit mechanism.

So long

Thanks for your reply @Thomas Deiler. I did give your suggestion a try but it did not work out for me.

Dear @Ankur Dayal,

then I have no clue - eventually it is really a bug. Best you contact the Atlassian Support.

So long
