[Status: Backburner ⌛️] ability to limit edits to only something the user created.
I'm adding some new role settings for a custom Agile-based workflow.
It occurs to me, that it would be nice to have a slightly more finite control of permissions, by adding the condition, "if they created it." It's similar to some of the permissions I've seen in a Drupal site admin.
For example, currently we have "Edit Task Description" - it's an all-or-nothing choice.
I think we should split these into two:
1) "Edit OWN task descriptions" ...they can only edit something, if they created it.
2) "Edit ALL task descriptions" ... the usual, current permissions.
For a use case... In my situation, I would like a task to only be edited by the person who created that task, while it sits in a backlog folder - controlled by the assigned role. After it's moved forward to another folder, others can edit and do as needed with the task.
Hi Charles, thank you for posting, I think it's a great idea 🙂 I'll refer Community members here when someone has a similar suggestion.

We're having almost the opposite problem. Task creators always have access to the task, normally at the full permission. When employees are moved to a new department, they shouldn't be able to continue to look at the ongoing work of their old department. I've made a post about this here.
However, I'm all in favor of more granular permissions. Splitting existing permission settings up into "own" and "all" would help us collaborate on incoming work.
@Joshua thanks for adding your use-case here!
Our team is interested in this suggestion and they are planning to investigate. I'll get back here when there's a status change 👍

A quick update: the status remains "Backburner"; this suggestion will be taken into account next year when the team is working on account roles.
