How can I enable edit for only work log?

[Michele Ghirxi]

I know there are status properties which can be used to disable the edit functionality such as 'jira.issue.editable'. However this disables any type of edit functionality and prevents users from deleting or editing their log work. Also removing the 'Edit Issue' Permission does the same thing.

The only 'workaround' I could do is to remove all the fields from the edit screen but this still allows user to edit the issue using the 'bulk edit' functionality

Is there a way to disable edit functionality on an issue while still allowing the user to edit/delete their log work.

Have you tried to restrict "Edit Issues" (under Issue Permission) but allow "Work On Issues" (unter Time tracking permissions)?

Thanks for your feedback.

This was the solution I was going with and implementing. However my only concern was that if I restrict the 'Edit Permission' it would have an impact on filling of fields during transitions..

I do not quite understand. Do you want the users to edit the issues or not?

I ended up changing the permissions you mentioned and it worked. 

Thanks
