"No more comments when ticket closed" according to the role in fields permissions.
why not fixing this feature?

In my opinion, this could be implemented with option 'comments allowed' and 'comments disallowed' when an issue is closed. This could be done for each issue and/or globally and/or per project.

A first patch would help me ... ;)

#10 Updated by Ivan Cenov over 7 years ago

To get this idea widely...

There could be added a new member in the issues table, par example 'comments_allowed' of type TINYINT(1) and it should be set to TRUE when creating new issue. Then

  • associate a checkbox in the edit issue dialog
  • associate permissions for access of 'comments_allowed'.
  • add a menu item in the context menu for allow / disallow.
  • add a global configuration option about 'disallow comments on closing issues'.
  • add a project configuration option about 'disallow comments on closing issues'.
  • add a project configuration option about which setting is with bigger priority: the global one or project one. (is needed?)
  • add code that calculates above conditions and sets or clears 'comments_allowed'.

I needed that recently, attaching a simplistic patch adding a permission.

For the record, I don't know a thing about Rails, just needed a quick hack.

Hello

We need some help to this topic again.

Installing the patch with the command written above works.
After the installation and a restart of the server it is still possible to comment on closed issues…
I tried to understand “what the patch” is doing and check if that worked.

Due to formatting problems, please see attached pdf-file.

Thanks in advance for further tips.

We created a workaround using the view customize plugin.
I hope this helps.

I've been looking for this as well.
And I just realised the additionals plugin actually implements this functionality: https://www.redmine.org/plugins/additionals
I can confirm it works. Make sure role you want to prevent from editing closed issues does not have "Edit closed issues" permission assigned.
Configure the additionals plugin at: /settings/plugin/additionals?tab=rules
The option is called "Disallow editing of closed issues (Freeze)".

Agreed. I have been using the plugin for last few weeks for this specific reason and it does exactly what OP asks for.
