On Epic workflows, using the workflow property 'jira.permission.createclone.denied' also disables the child work item creation button

      Issue Summary

      The workflow property 'jira.permission.createclone.denied' allows users to block cloning of work items. When it is set in a status in the workflow, the Clone option is removed from the work item.

      However, this also removes the button to create child work items from the child work item panel.

      Note: There is currently no workflow property called "jira.permission.createclone.denied" implemented within Jira. Rather, there is an open feature request to implement this - https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-85294

      What actually happens is that Jira interprets the property as "jira.permission.create.denied". Due to this, the creation of cloned work items is disabled. However, since this disables the entire work item create permission, it also disables the creation of child work items.

      Since a related bug ticket where subtask creation due to the same issue was resolved, we will raise this request for blocked child work item creation.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Navigate to any Jira company-managed workflow for the Epic work type
      2. Edit the workflow and to one or more statuses within the workflow add the following property - "jira.permission.createclone.denied" 
      3. Save and publish your workflow
      4. Navigate to any existing Epic work items
      5. Check that the option to Clone the work item is no longer present
      6. Try to create a child work item from the child work item panel

      Expected Results

      The clone option is no longer available but you can still perform other actions like creating child work items.

      Actual Results

      The clone option is no longer available which works as expected. However, the ability to create child work items is also disabled.

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
