Restrict worklog when ticket is in done status

[Srinivas Salver]

Hello,

I am looking to implement a rule where users can log work hours only within 30 days of a ticket being closed. After the 30-day window, logging hours should no longer be permitted.

Currently, I have the JMWE add-on and am exploring if there’s a way to accommodate this request using its capabilities.

I tried adding the following property:

jira.permission.work.denied

However, this property alone does not fulfill the requirement of restricting work log entries based on the issue closure date.

Has anyone implemented a similar solution or could provide guidance on how to achieve this using JMWE or any other workaround?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey @Srinivas Salver,

Depending on your current rule consumption, your scenario should be doable using a dedicated status, e.g. 'Closed', and a scheduled automation rule, that

• runs daily
• searches for issues that have been resolved more than 30 days ago and are in 'Done' status (and optionally further clauses to adapt the query to your specific needs)
• transitions those issues to the 'Closed' status with the jira.permission.work.denied property set.

You should also be able to add a condition to the transition to 'Closed' so that only the automation user can run this transition.

Regards,
Thorsten
