Fill Required Field Resolution For Free

The "Resolution" field is an important feature in Jira. It specifies the reason an issue is closed and removes the need of having multiple statuses with the purpose of stating why the issue is closed, thus capturing important data for your team while reducing the time you have to manage your workflow.

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.

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.

Resolution Set Using a POST Function Locate your Workflow: > Issues > Workflows. Click Edit under Actions for your workflow. Select your "Done" transition, and Click POST Functions.
