Time-based restriction for logging work after status transition

Description:

We’re looking for the ability to enforce a time-based restriction on worklog entries in Tempo, tied to Jira workflow status transitions.

Use case:
When an issue transitions into a specific status (e.g., “Done”), we want to allow time logging for a limited period (e.g., 7 days). After that defined duration, logging time against the issue should be restricted.

Current limitation:
Jira’s workflow property jira.permission.work.denied applies immediately upon transition and does not support delayed enforcement. Tempo also does not currently provide a native way to enforce time-based constraints relative to status duration.

Why this matters:

  • Ensures timely and accurate time logging

  • Prevents retroactive logging long after work is completed

  • Supports compliance and reporting integrity

Requested capability:

  • Configure a delay (e.g., X days) after entering a status before worklog restrictions apply

  • Apply this rule per workflow status or project

  • Optional: admin override or exception handling

Additional notes:
This capability would ideally integrate with Jira workflow states while being enforced at the Tempo level.

Thanks for considering this enhancement.
