Add Required Field Resolution For Free

'Set Resolution to Done' can be found in the Add post function option under Update Issue Field - it's the default in the dropdown from there.

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.

To make a field mandatory when used through Jira's user interface, click the Required link associated with that field. The text Required appears next to the field's name. Hidden fields cannot be set as required. To make a field optional, click the Optional link associated with that field.

Resolution Locate your Workflow: > Issues > Workflows. Click Edit under Actions for your workflow. Select your "Done" transition, and Click POST Functions. Click 'Add POST Function > Select 'Update Issue Field' Select Resolution for Issue Field and the appropriate Field Value.

The resolved date is automatically updated in Jira issues when you set a resolution for it, and a resolution must be set only when the issue is transitioned to the last status of the workflow ("Done", "Closed", etc.).

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.

To generate a "Resolution Time" report: Click on the Projects dropdown, at the top of the navigation bar; the Categories under the dropdown will be displayed. Click on the project that you want to browse or click on "View All Projects"; the user will be able to view the list of all projects in your JIRA account.
