Issue in Closed Status should not be editable and should not be reopened

[Manju Nambiar]

Hi,

For any Issue in Closed Status to be marked as not editable and cannot be reopened, is this a privilege setting?

Thanks,

Manju

This is controlled by a workflow property in the Closed workflow step.

The workflow property Jobin mentions will solve the "cannot be edited". It's standard in the Jira default workflow, so have a look there if you're not sure.

The ability to reopen is up to your workflow as well - you can add/remove the transitions out of "closed" or apply conditions to them to prevent/allow users using them.
