Use case

One major advantage of Jira is the creation and implementation of customized workflows. But as fast as new workflows are created, mistakes happen. A common misconfiguration is forgetting to set a resolution on the final workflow transition.

By default, in Jira you cannot bulk edit resolutions. With this rule you can!

Manual trigger

Add a Trigger → Manual

No further configuration needed. The rule will only be executed if a user hits the Execute button .

JQL Selector

Add Selector → JQL Selector

JQL Query

Use the following Expression:

project = TIS and statusCategory = Done and resolution is empty
# Customize the JQL to your needs

Update field action

Next to the JQL Selector, click on Add → Action → Update field

Field

Choose Resolution

Update to

Choose Selected Value

Value

Choose one of the given resolutions (e.g. Done)

You can also use this rule to delete resolutions from issues that are obviously not done!

Screencast

This is how the configuration above should look on your screen

Import the example

Import the JSON file below to get started in no time.

After importing the JSON file, make sure to check the configuration of the rule. Non-existing configuration elements (issue types, fields, values etc.) will be highlighted.
