How to Restrict Task Assignment and Status Updates to Only the Assignee When Task is ‘In Progress’?

Question

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some guidance on configuring Jira permissions. Specifically, I want to ensure that when a task is in a ‘In Progress’ status, only the assignee can assign it to someone else or update its status. I’ve tried using various conditions, but I haven’t found the right combination to achieve this.

Has anyone successfully implemented this kind of restriction? If so, could you please share the steps or configurations needed?

We are using a company managed project.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @egarratt ,

Suggest you to try workflow properties.

Using workflow property, you can restrict edit, comment,attachment,permission...etc .
