Description

WorkspaceDraftIssueViewSet checked workspace membership only, while a draft's project comes from the request body. A draft could be saved against, and converted into an issue in, a project where the caller had no write role.

• create and partial_update now require the caller to be an active ADMIN/MEMBER of the draft's project_id, in the URL workspace, before saving (403 otherwise). partial_update checks both the draft's own project and any different project_id supplied.
• create_draft_to_issue runs the same check on the draft's project before creating the issue, so drafts saved before this change, or after membership was revoked, are covered too.
• The check (can_write_project) is the same project-level rule IssueViewSet.create applies: an active ADMIN/MEMBER of the project, or a workspace ADMIN who is an active member of the project at any role.
• DraftIssueCreateSerializer makes project read-only, so a PATCH can no longer change a draft's project through the project key. Create still sets it from the checked project_id.
• DraftIssueCreateSerializer validates cycle_id and module_ids against the draft's project and workspace on create and update; ids from any other project return 400 and nothing is written.
• On PATCH, state, labels, assignees, parent and estimate point are validated against the draft's own project, not the supplied project_id.
• create_draft_to_issue runs the same cycle/module check (DraftIssueCreateSerializer.check_cycle_and_modules) on the body cycle_id and module_ids before creating anything; ids from any other project or workspace return 400 and no work item, cycle or module row is created.

Behaviour change: sending project in a draft PATCH is now ignored. The web client sends project_id, which the PATCH never wrote, so the web client is unaffected. Drafts with no project are unchanged.

This PR now also covers cycle and module validation on conversion, which overlaps open PR #9828. Owner scoping for retrieve/delete is left to #10006/#10002.

Test Scenarios

• Create a draft with a project_id where you are a project guest, not a member, or a member of that project in a different workspace: 403, no draft saved.
• Create, update and convert a draft in a project where you are a MEMBER: works as before.
• PATCH a draft with another project's project_id: 403. PATCH with project: 204, and the draft's project is unchanged.
• PATCH a draft whose project you no longer have write access to: 403, even when the supplied project_id is one you can write.
• Create or update a draft with a cycle_id or module_ids from another project or workspace: 400, no cycle/module rows saved. Ids from the draft's project: saved as before.
• PATCH a draft with a writable second project's project_id and a state from that project: 400, state unchanged.
• Convert a draft whose project you are a guest in or not a member of: 403, no issue created, draft kept.
• As a workspace ADMIN who is a project guest: create, update and convert a draft in that project all work. As a workspace ADMIN outside the project: 403.
• Convert a draft with a cycle_id or module_ids from another project or workspace: 400, no work item, cycle or module row created, draft kept. Ids from the draft's project: linked as before.
• plane/tests/contract/app/test_workspace_draft_project_membership_app.py + test_draft_to_issue_owner_scope_app.py: 29 passed. The 4 new conversion negative tests fail without the conversion check. Without the review fix, its 10 new negative tests fail and the new positive control passes.

📝 Walkthrough

Draft creation, updates, and conversion to issues now check project write access. Draft cycle and module associations must match the draft’s project and workspace. Contract tests cover permitted and rejected access and associations.

Changes: Draft project access

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Project write check and draft creation apps/api/plane/app/views/workspace/draft.py, apps/api/plane/tests/contract/app/test_workspace_draft_project_membership_app.py	A helper checks for active ADMIN or MEMBER membership in the URL workspace. Draft creation returns 403 when the user lacks access. Tests cover members, guests, non-members, and projects in another workspace.
Draft update and conversion access apps/api/plane/app/views/workspace/draft.py, apps/api/plane/tests/contract/app/test_workspace_draft_project_membership_app.py	Updates check access to the draft’s current project and any requested project. Conversion checks access before creating an issue. Tests cover denied and permitted operations.
Cycle and module project scope apps/api/plane/app/serializers/draft.py, apps/api/plane/tests/contract/app/test_workspace_draft_project_membership_app.py	The serializer validates cycle and module IDs against the draft’s project and workspace. Tests cover same-project associations and reject associations from other projects.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d099b

A member with write access to two projects may be able to attach another project's state to a draft by sending that project's ID in an update. This leaves the draft's associations inconsistent. Malformed project IDs may also produce an error instead of a clean client error. Address the cross-project validation before merging.

No new blocking findings. One earlier bot finding is still open at head (below).

Verified:

• can_write_project matches the project-level ADMIN/MEMBER rule and scopes the membership row to the URL workspace, so a membership in another workspace doesn't pass. It runs on create (when project_id is supplied), on both the stored and the supplied project in partial_update, and on the stored project in create_draft_to_issue before anything is written.
• Making project read-only closes the project-key move. create still sets it from the checked context project_id, and the web client only sends project_id/cycle_id/module_ids on PATCH.
• check_cycle_and_modules runs before any DraftIssueCycle/DraftIssueModule/CycleIssue/ModuleIssue write on all three paths. A malformed cycle_id or a string module_ids returns 400 at head; on the merge-base a string module_ids was a 500.
• Ran test_workspace_draft_project_membership_app.py: 27 passed.
• Falsified: with serializers/draft.py and views/workspace/draft.py reset to the merge-base, 22/27 fail. The 5 that still pass are the positive controls.

Still open: the issue coderabbitai raised on d099b257 (validation context uses the request project_id rather than the draft's own project) is unchanged at head. A probe confirmed it: a caller who can write both projects A and B PATCHes a draft in A with project_id B and a state from B, gets 204, and the draft keeps project A with B's state_id. Labels, assignees, parent and estimate point validate the same way. Impact is limited because the caller must already have write access to both projects, and conversion re-validates request.data against the draft's project. Fixing it is a one-line change: pass issue.project_id as the serializer's project_id context and keep the access check on the supplied id. There's no test for this case yet.

Follow-up on ad22abc.

All earlier findings resolved; no new findings.

• Resolved: draft PATCH validated relations against the supplied project_id (coderabbitai's finding on d099b257, which I confirmed last time). partial_update now passes issue.project_id as the serializer context. The access check on a supplied project_id is unchanged. State, labels, assignees, parent and estimate point all read that context, and update() already used instance.project_id for the cycle and module writes.
• Not an issue: coderabbitai's malformed-project_id 500. The decline is correct: BaseViewSet.handle_exception maps Django's ValidationError to 400.
• Reviewed the new behaviour in ad22abc: can_write_project now also accepts a workspace ADMIN who is an active project member at any role. This matches allow_permission's workspace-admin branch, which IssueViewSet.create uses. The workspace-membership lookup is still scoped to the URL slug, and admins who aren't in the project are still refused.

Tests: test_workspace_draft_project_membership_app.py, 29 passed. Falsification: with views/workspace/draft.py reset to 2de8a6d, the two new behaviour tests fail (test_update_validates_state_against_draft_project, test_workspace_admin_project_guest_can_create_update_and_convert_draft). The rest pass, as expected: the admin-not-in-project test is a negative control that also holds on the old code.
