Work Type Gate for Jira
Choose who can create each work type, and which sub-tasks go under which parents.
Jira lets anyone with Create permission create every work type in a project. Work Type Gate adds one validator to your Create transition and a settings page for project admins:
- Who can create what. Limit each work type to the groups and project roles you choose. Types without a rule stay open.
- Sub-tasks under the right parents. For each sub-task type, pick the parent work types it may go under.
- Clear messages. Write your own message, or use the default that names the work type and project.
- Check a person. See what someone can create before you save.
- Safe switches. Pause all rules with one switch, and optionally let Jira admins through.
Rules are checked by Jira itself on every create path (create screen, REST API, automation, CSV import and email), so creating work items never waits on the app. The app runs on Atlassian Forge with no external calls.
