I want to allow bugs and single tasks the ability to transition from any status but force stories and epics to follow transition rules. How would I accomplish this?

You would do this by modifying your Workflow Scheme:

You can see above that there are different workflows assigned to different issue types.  So you would create a workflow that is simplified for bugs and tasks and more complicated for stories and epics.  Then you would associate them in the Workflow Scheme and assign that workflow scheme to your project(s).

This documentation should get you started:

There are also plugins that offer some alternate ways to do this such as adding conditions to your transitions that only allow the transition for certain issue types.  But I've never been a huge fan of this approach mainly because it makes it hard to see at a glance how your workflow works.

 

Hope that helps!
