How to restrict moving issues to a specific Issue Type

[Vishnukumar Vasudevan]

Guys

Is there any workaround to restrict moving issues to a specific type ?

For more clarity, I want to block moving issues to ‘Change Resuest’.

I use JIRA 4.4 and 4.4.1.

Thanks in advance.

Regards, Vishnu.

Hi Vishnu ,

You can create a webwork plugin which extends the action on moving issue and put a condition which checks the issue type . you can see all the actions in actions.xml in the web-inf folder . Or you may edit the moveissue.jsp in atlassian-jira/secure/views/issue/moveissue.jsp , i am not sure but you can add a condition in this jsp which checks the issuetype selected and if the type is 'Change Resuest’ give a message.

This conversation started in 2012, when it may not have been possible.

You might be able to do it now by having different workflows for each issue type, and for the ones you want to prevent "move" on, place a workflow property on every step that blocks the move permission.

Not sure though, I have not tried it.

I just looked at the doc and didn't find 'move' property

@Joe Pitt: do you have another link? this doesn't work

Looks like we’re off the beaten track

But we’ve lost our way, so let’s try going home.

Head to our documentation homepage that does exist

Should be jira.permission.move.<people>

It's the permission to move

@Legna Garcia- Lithium (this platform) has a bad habit of sticking control characters on the end of links.  Try the url again, but strip the %/ type garbage from the end of it.

Not out of the box. JIRA doesn't have issue type security or controls.

How can I do this in Cloud version?
