Tempo: prevent logging on subtasks

[Pete P]

Is there a way to prevent users from logging hours on sub-tasks? We would like the time to be recorded only on the parent task so that reporting is easier. 

If that is not possible is there a good way to create a filter for issues and sub tasks that rolls up this data?

I used this method to disable time logging in the parent Task.

It should also work for subtasks

You have to edit all Workflows and disable logging in every Status of every subtaks workflow.

Thanks @Alexander Pappert , that looks helpful but rather than restricting based on status, I hope to prevent any logging of hours on the sub-task without regard to status.

Hi @Alexander Pappert 

Do you log your time with tempo?

I tried the way it was described on your link, it didn't work for me.

@Pete P did you find another way?

@Nadine Racine , I ended up creating a copy of my workflow and added the property key "jira.permission.work.denied" on each of the statuses as @Alexander Pappert  suggested.  Next I added the workflow copy to my workflow scheme and assigned the sub-task issue type to the new workflow.  It is working fine although not the most elegant solution. 

I think I may have done better by making a copy of my screen scheme for the sub-task issue type and delete the Tempo fields from the screen.   Jira is so flexible there are more than one way to achieve the desired effect.

I don't use Tempo.

I just use this method to disable time logging in the parent Task.
