Resolutions per workflow step.

It is sometimes necessary to restrict what resolutions are shown on a particular "Resolve" screen. For instance, one might have a "Reject" transition which omits resolutions like "Fixed", leaving only resolutions like "Invalid".

This can be done as follows:

Find out the IDs of the resolutions to be excluded.

The IDs of resolutions can be discovered by examining URLs of operations on resolutions:

or more directly by querying the resolutions table in the database:

Exclude the resolutions in the workflow

In the workflow editor, locate the workflow you wish to edit. If it is active, you will need to copy it and later associate it with projects with a new workflow scheme. Select the transition you wish to limit resolutions on, and click "properties of this transition":

Now set a property called jira.field.resolution.exclude to a comma-separated list of resolutions to hide for this transition:

Now activate the workflow, and create a test issue. The resolutions will be excluded for that transition:
