jira permission to unlink issues

[Bahar Çağlar]

Hi,

I am using issue linking (in jira 5.2.11). How can I disable delete this link button on the view screen? (image below)

Actually, the reason is that there is no settings in the permission scheme to allow/restrict users to delete issue links.

The only permission type is link issues.

Where is the permission for delete links?

Thanks.

you can try with permission based on workflow steps,

i have't teied that, you can try somthing like this

jira.permission.link.delete.group.1=some-group-one

Unfortunately, this permission (Link Issues) rules both adding and deleting links.

You can do such workaround.

1. Create a plugin of web-panel type and put it into View Issue page.

2. In the velocity template of this plugin write a JS function:

<script type="text/javascript">
//your function here...
</script>

3. In your script find all <a> elements like this:

<a class="icon icon-delete" title="Delete this link" id="delete-link_remote-10000" href="/secure/DeleteRemoteIssueLink.jspa?id=12100&remoteIssueLinkId=10000&atl_token=TOKEN"><span>Delete this link</span></a>

and remove them.
