Disable Checklist Editing
To disable issue editing together with the checklist, follow these steps:
Go to Workflows → Edit Workflow.
Select the status where you want to disable issue and checklist editing (e.g. DONE ).
Click the + icon next to Properties.
Add a new property with the following values:
Key:
jira.issue.editableValue:
false
Save the property and publish/update the workflow.
Done! ✅ Once the issue transitions to DONE status, the checklist and the entire issue will become non-editable. If the issue is transitioned back to TODO or IN PROGRESS, the issue and its checklist will become editable again.
