We need to make work items read-only when there is an associated synced epic to prevent records from being out of sync.

Changes summary:

  • Prevent modifying a work item by preventing the following policies when a synced epic is present:
    • :admin_work_item_link
    • :admin_work_item
    • :update_work_item
    • :set_work_item_metadata
    • :create_note
    • :admin_parent_link (pending, will be handled in a follow-up)
    • :award_emoji
    • :create_todo
    • :update_subscription
    • :create_requirement_test_report

How to set up and validate locally

  1. In rails console enable the experiment fully 
    Feature.enable(:epic_creation_with_synced_work_item)
  2. Visit any group and create an epic Epic with synced work item
  3. Visit the list of work items at the group level (e.g http://127.0.0.1:3000/groups/<group-path>/-/work_items) and find the newest work item, it should have the same title as the epic
  4. Verify that it cannot be updated (title, description or sidebar fields)
  5. Verify that quick actions and notes creation are not supported
