Can I log work on an issue with status "Closed"? I am in the Sprint "Agile" area, and dragged a few issues from "In Progress" to "Done". I forgot to actually log the hours worked, expecting the "estimated" time to just propagate to "logged work". Re-opening the issues is cumbersome and creates an unnecessary trail of notifications.
To allow issue-editing while the issue is closed:
Go to the project Workflows screen and download it as and XML file.
Then edit the XML file and in the Closed step:
<step id="6" name="Closed">
<meta name="jira.status.id">6</meta>
<meta name="jira.issue.editable">false</meta>
<actions>
<common-action id="3" />
</actions>
</step>
change
<meta name="jira.issue.editable">false</meta>
to
<meta name="jira.issue.editable">true</meta>
You can also mark or remove this line, but it's helpful to keep it for future needs.
Lastly, upload the edited workflow back to Jira.
