Preventing Epics from being changed once marked as done or closed without reopening it.

[Wendell Bickford]

How do you prevent fields on closed epics from being updated without being reopened. 

Currently if the epic is marked as complete, done or resolved the user can still select a field and modify it without reopening the epic. 

Is there a way to lock the epic fields down once the epic is closed?

Hi @Wendell Bickford - You should be able to add the following property on your resolved status(es):

jira.issue.editable

false

Here's more information on workflow properties:

Thank you, that is what I needed.

Hi @Wendell Bickford as @Mark Segall said the answer is workflow properties.
Here's a link to a Server Doc it's got other links for things like the API in the page showing more possible values.
