use workflow after deleting issue

[Xavier]

Hi all,

is there a way to run a script after deleting an issue (by clicking on More -  Delete) ?

On workflow there is no transition after the last status which allow to do this ?

thanks in advance

Deletion is not part of workflow.  It's a separate action, one that should be used VERY rarely as it completely destroys ALL the issue information.  If it's part of your standard process, then your process is wrong.

To automate stuff as you delete, then you need to find or write a listener that can catch the "issue deleted" action and do what you want.

But be warned that the issue is deleted.  So your listener will not have much information to work with, because it has gone.

Hi @Xavier

If a issue is deleted, you want launch a script right ? Why you don't set permission to disable for users the deleting permission ? Or it's ok if people delete issues ?

Hi @Mohamed Benziane

yes, I would like to run a insight post function to delete an associated object. Users that can delete issue are administrators, but this is just in case when we have to reassign an object.
