| You will need the following Jira apps: Power Actions Level: INTERMEDIATE |
Problem
Once in a while it happens that we want to lock an issue, where by lock I mean that only the assignee of that issue can play with it. There's an open ticket about this with Atlassian, and Power Actions Actions™ helps resolve it.
This example shows you how to do that by using Power Actions Actions™ and the Issue Security Scheme.
...
Now you're probably wondering "Why do i need Blitz Actions Power Actions™ to do this? Why can't the user set the security level himself?". Well, there are a number of reasons for this; what if we don't want the assignee to have the "Set Issue Security Level" permission? Or what if we don't want them to be able to edit the issue at all, but only log work or comment on it? Even if they do have the "Set Issue Security Level", not having "Edit issue" permission will prevent them from locking the issue.

Instead of current assignee, we could set the value of a user picker as the allowed user, and change the value of the custom field to the current user when locking an issue, thus resolving a common problem exposed here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-6146 |
