Is it possible to restrict workflow transition step by all pull request authors

[Danny]

Hi Community,

The problem I am trying to solve is that I want to step up a workflow transition condition that stops any pull request author linked to the issue from transitioning a particular workflow step. 

Is this even possible? 

Thanks,

Danny

May I ask for some context around the reason for requiring this step? 

This probably could be done with a trigger though... and some cheeky logic. If it is an issue of the individual just moving the item to an undesired stated prior to the work being accepted you could just have the trigger stop that action independent of the individual.

Hello @jeremiah_landi

Context? Of course. I would like the author of a PR to not move the ticket through a review transition to the next status in the issue type's lifecycle. 

Would it be a case of a condition that identifies the PR author connected to a Jira ticket, and check if the current user is the author? 

If so, how can this be achieved? 

Thanks,

Danny
