The solution provided to
JRA-8497 will not work in our case.
This is related to the 'working as designed' described in
JRA-10210
We would like the clone ability to be shut off for only one project in our JIRA. This is because when an issue is cloned, it does not automatically get assigned to the default assignee and therefore there is not an e-mail sent via our notification scheme to the appropriate persons. We are encouraging users to re-open issues rather than clone them so they are not lost. However, this is not working so nicely. Is there a way to simply turn 'clone' off for a single project without affecting all projects within that instance of JIRA?
Thanks.
It is not possible to restrict this per project. The only way is to edit the JIRA source and put some extra logic into the Clone Issue Operation that is used to display the link. This will involve editing JIRA's source and porting the change to every new version.
At the moment, we are not looking to add the ability to restrict the Clone Issue operation per project. The operation is protected by Create Issue permission.
Cheers,
Anton
