Attach Required Field Resolution For Free

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.

To get the Resolution IDs, go to Jira Settings / Admin > Issues > Resolutions, press Edit next to a resolution and the ID is the numeric code after "? id=" in the title. You'll need the Resolution Screen set within these transitions to see a list of resolutions with those excluded.

You do NOT make it editable. You should only set it when closing an issue, and, you should always set it, or Jira does not work properly. It does not matter if you think you don't use it, Jira needs it to be used properly.

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.

Resolution is one of the default fields in Jira and is always a required field and has the value Unresolved until you set it to something else.

Resolution Field can't be made optional. DO NOT put the field on any screen except the one presented in the transition where it is to be set. Resolution is a special field in JIRA. It has an initial value of 'Unresolved', which means the field is NULL in the database.
