Allow "Due Date" permissions to be separated by work item type

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

For our processes here at Paccar, we want to restrict the due date attribute from being modified for one particular work item. There are a couple of reasons for this:

"Due Date are used to create burnup chart and it’s a single measure to make sure that we 
clearly identify if teams are delayed or were delayed in future.
o This burnup charts are automatically created and updated with due dates.
• It helps in appropriate escalations and monitoring the progress.
• Having the ability to change due dates will forfeit the above purpose because there will be 
no check on who is making what edits and why. We will lose track of the original plan.
• Resolution Date and Due date comparison are made to understand how much the team 
deviated from the original plan. It helps in retrospective analysis for Project managers and teams to 
understand what went wrong in planning/scheduling."

 

However, due to the nature of the permissions of this attribute, if the permission is restricted, it's restricted for all work items, which is not how we want to operate. We do want to have the ability to change the due date on other work items. So, my proposal would be to have the ability to change the due date permissions based on work item type.

    The EWM Ideas Review Board has evaluated this request. This request, while valid, is being rejected because we do see us providing support to set the permissions to be per work item type.
    We recommend you consider creating a special role with the necessary permissions that can be created to update Due Date where required and blocked everywhere else.
