What workflow property should be added to prevent adding issues to an epic that is DONE ?

[Aisha M]

What should the workflow property be, if I need to prevent JIRA users from adding new issues to an already closed epic ?

Thank you !

Finally, you can find the solution to this problem on this thread.

Hello,

As far as I know, there is no way achieving this with workflow properties. I found two possible solutions to this problem. First one is to use an extra plugin and adding a validator. Here check out this solution:

Another one is not a solution but a workaround in this issue:

Hi @Aisha M

I haven't tried this for creating sub-tasks, but i've used

jira.issue.editable false

to prevent other edits happening

Also try setting

jira.permission.subtasks.create false
