TMP Resolution field does not change to resolve when issue move to done

    • 49
    • Severity 3 - Minor

      Atlassian Update - May 2023

      This has been fixed and released to everyone  Any issues moved to/from the 'done' status category from now on will have their resolution set or cleared correctly.

      Something to note is that this will not be applied to historical data, any issues already in the 'done' category will not have their resolution automatically set to resolved. We were worried about the impact of making such a mass change to all projects' 'done' issues, so have left the decision to you if you wish to do a one-off update.

      To do so, you can use Jira's bulk edit feature to update the resolution to 'resolved', you will only need to do this once, and any future updates will happen automatically. Follow the steps listed under the 2. Transition your issues heading here - https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/bulk-update-the-resolution-field-in-jira-321857142.html#BulkupdatetheresolutionfieldinJira-2.TransitionyourIssues

      Issue Summary

      In JWM projects we don't add resolution fields into our templates (we choose not to do it), however, this field is still visible in the issue navigator and might cause confusion. In CMP the customer can always create a post function to make this transition to resolved happens, but there is no workaround in TMP

      Furthermore, the Created vs. Resolved and Created Issues reports built into the template will not reflect resolved issues because no resolution is set, and there is no option to do so aside from automation.
       

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Move a ticket to “done” or any status that means resolve

      Expected Results

      Resolution field to be resolved

      Actual Results

      The resolution field stays unresolved

      Workaround

      You can create an automation to change the value of the field Resolution to "Done", once the issue is transitioned to Done.

            Hi 53842b4eba48, I have been discussing this with the engineers, and I think there was some confusion on that other support ticket (https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-80686), sorry about that.

            For CMP projects, it depends entirely on what template has been used to create the project (eg. Project Management, Employee Onboarding). Only some project templates have the resolutions working by default (under the hood they are just automatically adding the post function to set/clear the resolution). The list of working templates are:

            • Document approval
            • Project management
            • Task tracking
            • Personal task tracker
            • Go-to-market
            • Process control

            I have created a new support ticket (https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JWMCLOUD-507) for us to add this behaviour by default to all CMP project templates, in the meantime the solution is to add the post function manually as it sounds like you have done.

            Hi @Heather Roberts,
            Actually we had to add a "Post Function" on the transitions in CMP projects to set or clear the resolution.

            My understanding is that any transition to StatusCategory "Done" should set the resolution field, and any transition from StatusCategory "Done" to StatusCategory "To Do" or "In Progress" should clear it.

            It was still not the case (confirmed by Jira support in https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-80686 ).

            Hi 53842b4eba48, my understanding is that this was always working correctly for CMP, it was just in the TMP projects we had this bug.

            You will no longer need any of the automation rules, moving issues from 'done' back to 'in progress' (or any non-done status category) will set the resolution as unresolved.

            @Heather Robert, your colleague Anusha Rutman mentioned on JRACLOUD-80686 that this is also fixed for CMP.
            Please confirm.

            Also shall we keep the automation rule we had created for clearing the Resolution field if status changes back from "Done" or the fix was only for the one-way transition?
