Is there a way to restrict voting to certain statuses?

[Ana Vitória Selista]

I have a workflow for devs and they need to vote on some issues just in certain statuses. I thought there was a status property to restrict voting, but apparently not. Does anyone know a workaround?

Hello @Ana Vitória Selista 

Jira Cloud does not natively support restricting the ability to vote on issues based on workflow status. The built-in voting feature is controlled at the project level via permission schemes, and anyone with the "Voters" permission can vote on any issue in the project, regardless of its status. There is no workflow status property (like those used to restrict editing or commenting) that can be applied specifically to voting. 

Workaround

While you cannot restrict voting by status directly, here are some alternative approaches:

• Go to Project Settings > Permissions.

• Edit the "Voters & Watchers" permission to limit voting to a specific group or project role (e.g., Developers)

However, this will apply to all issues in the project, not just those in specific statuses.

You can also consider third-party apps from the Atlassian Marketplace that extend voting or approval functionality. Some apps allow more granular control, such as restricting voting by status or group. See - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=voting
