Compile Required Field Resolution For Free

This work around worked for me. Remove the Resolution field from all views but the Closed screen. Remove the default value for the Resolution field. Set a Validator up so that the Resolution field must be changed when transitioning to Closed.

You don't, there is no way to set the Resolution field to not be required. Jira is hard coded for the Resolution field to always be required when it appears on a screen.

The Resolution field is typically cleared by setting a post function in the workflow transition you'd like to have this occur.

As the Resolution Field is a Required Field, if it is added to a "Default" Screen, newly created or edited issues will be in a Resolved state as the field would be populated by the Default Resolution Value.

Add, edit, and delete a resolution Select > Issues. Under ISSUE ATTRIBUTES, select Resolutions. Fill in the form below the existing resolutions. You can edit the name and description at any time.

Select the transition to the "Closed" status. Under Options, click on Validators. Click the Add validator button. Select the Field Required Validator option.

Resolution is a system Field and it's always mandatory. You cannot make it optional from Configuration scheme. You need to remove it from create/edit screen and try creating a task. Try removing it and create a new task.

A JIRA issue can be resolved in a number of ways. The default resolution statuses are: Fixed, Duplicate, Won't Fix, Incomplete, and Cannot Reproduce. However, new resolution statuses may be added. The resolution status of issues is on a JIRA Global level, which means that one configuration is used for all projects.

To make the field mandatory - click the red button and activate it. Green bubble indicates that the field is mandatory. In the "Create new Lead/People" form the mandatory fields will be signed with the symbol.

In the Navigation Pane, right-click the table and then click Design View. Select the field that you want to require always has a value. In the Field Properties pane, on the General tab, set the Required property to Yes.
