Control Freak settings for Jira policy

[Former user]

Using the REST Api I analyze the control freak settings for all our projects. In the Jira policy settings I observe sometimes a strange behaviour: analyzing the control freak html file, I get for the "current status" as value "disabled". Selecting the same entry in the same project on the GUI I see "active". Why these two values are not the same and what does "disabled" mean in the current status?

Thanks for this bug report!

The “disabled” vs. “active” status is just a cosmetic UI thing to help admins understand that Jira controls are only active as long as at least a single branch pattern is selected.

This little bit of cosmetic UI is controlled purely by JavaScript, and so it will always show as “disabled” in the HTML (the initial setting after which JavaScript alters it through DOM manipulations.)

Closed since this is not a bug and working as designed: this page is meant to be rendered in a browser window as opposed to as a REST retrieved HTML page. :-)
