In RTC 4.0.6 is it possible to restrict or disable the "Create Work Item Copy action" the Web client ?

 We have heavily customised our RTC Work Items so there is a risk that if users copy work items it may cause data integrity problems. In RTC 4.0.6 is it possible to restrict or disable the "Create Work Item Copy action" the Web client ?

What you will need to explore are the Permissions such as create a workitem or save a workitem. There is no way to disable this action specifically.  See http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v4r0m6/topic/com.ibm.jazz.platform.doc/topics/c_permissions.html

I have the same issue, I want to allow people to create them and save them.  For me, I want even lower ... to be able to either:
1) (preferable) define for a work item type what attributes (custom and built-in) can NOT be copied into a new work item. 
2) restrict the Copy Work Item Copy action" on specific work item types

Would it be possible to:
1) write an Operation Advisor that is invoked on the workItemSave which could then determine a) it is a new work item (since copy I assume is a create with values from the old work item) and b) that we can tell from the ISaveParameter.getNewState() data that this work item creation is based on a COPY???
2) write an Operation Advisor specifically to be invoked to validate a "Create Work Item Copy" action?  I haven't found a plugin action that I can use for this.

Is there any progress in the customizing attributes of "Create work item copy"? I'm facing similar problem with my coworkers who wrote already about their issues.

My exact problem is that users can create new work items using archived "Filed Against" values by taking advantage of this function.
Thanks.
