Can I hide or disable voting for a project?

[Gregory Kneller]

I am looking a way to disable voting in jira projects, while the users may not understand this concepts at start. I feel, it was possible in earlier version, but now I cannot find the way in backend.

You cannot do it for selected projects. You can switch off globally as mentioned here:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Configuring+JIRA+Options

See the 'Allow users to vote on issues' option!

Hi Johh, pitty to hear that. Ideally, it schould be configurable for projects. Is there any JRA-xxx with this regards maybe?

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-24988 seems the one!

If you want to keep watchers and only remove voters, there is a "gray"  way to hide voting on the project level. You need to inject ajax. For JIRA 7 it looks like

AJS.$("#view-voter-list").parent().parent().hide();
AJS.$("#view-voters").hide();

AJS.$("#toggle-vote-issue").hide();

Ajax may be inserted on project level using https://confluence.cprime.io/display/JJUPIN/Live+Fields  and with function lfExecuteJS, for example

There is a free app (for Server hosting) in the Marketplace which provides this functionality: Voting Per Project

Hi @Jonathan Hult ,

Actually, voting can be rather not disabled, but hidden in Permissions per project (Voters & Watchers Permissions) by removing all the (needed) roles from permissions.
