How can I control availability of feature "Edit Files Online" per repository?

[Marc Botermans]

Hi,

For some of our repositories we require a valid jira ticket to be part of the commit message so we can always trace back why someone committed a change. We use the add-on " Yet Another Commit Checker" to meet this requirement.  This requirement however is currently broken when users (with write access to the repo) use the "Edit files online feature" as described at  https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/add-edit-and-commit-to-source-files-223217905.html.

It would be great if we could control for which repo this feature is (not) available. Does anyone know a way ?

Regards,

Marc

Hi Marc!

That feature can only be disabled globally, not on a repo-by-repo basis. To disable it you'll need to edit the bitbucket.properties file and add:

feature.file.editor=false

This will disable that option from the UI and the rest of the interface globally

If that doesn't work for you, you're more than welcome to submit a Feature request at https://jira.atlassian.com/projects/BSERV/issues/. Please make sure to state your business case so our developers understand the importance it has for you and can consider it for the future.

Hope that helps!

Hi Ana,

Thank you for  both suggestions.

We will look into the option to disable the feature.
