Disabling logging time when an epic/issue is complete

[Laura_Morgan]

When we finish with an epic within a project, we sometimes find people still log time against a particular issue within the closed off epic in error. Is there any way of disabling or locking certain epics & issues so no further time can be logged against them?

Hello @Laura_Morgan

Thank you for reaching out.

To properly deactivate the ability to log work in issues when they achieve a determined status (Done), you can use the workflow property jira.permission.work.denied, as mentioned in this documentation:

- How to restrict Log Work on a specific status 

These would be the steps to configure the property in the done status:

- Navigate to your project > Project settings > Workflow > Edit

- On diagram mode, click in the status "Done" > Properties:

- Add the Property like in the screenshot below:

- Publish the workflow draft and wait 5 minutes to test the property

Let us know if you have any questions.
