How do you make an issue read only after it is in a closed status?

[annag]

This is a big audit problem for us. After an issue has been closed, you can still make edits to the issue.

Hi @annag ,

You can do this by adding a property on the workflow. On the Status that you wish to block the editing go to properties and add:

 jira.issue.editable = false

Thank you!!!

You can block them with workflow properties.

See https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/workflow-properties-938847526.html

but in this case, find the status that is "closed" (one or many), edit the workflow and add jira.issue.editable = false to those status (you might want to do the same for comments and other permissions)

Thank you! Yes, looks like this removed the Edit capability. Would I use a behaviour to take away the edit capability for comments?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

On that page, there's mention of how you can do the same for comments.

@annag ,

That would be through the jira.permission.* property.

Without duplicating all the information here there is an elaborate article about this on:

https://www.j-tricks.com/tutorials/permissions-based-on-workflow-status

The one you are looking for I believe would be:

jira.permission.comment.denied = denied

[annag]

Thank you so much! I will take a look at that doc.

[Dirk Ronsmans]

It's a bit older information (2011) but the information should mostly be accurate.

If they no longer work let me know and I'll do some testing myself :)

Will this work on next-gen projects within JSD?

Looking for a way to do this in a Behaviour...
