Operate Required Field Resolution For Free

Resolution Field Resolution is a special field in JIRA. It has an initial value of 'Unresolved', which means the field is NULL in the database. It is ALWAYS required when it appears on the screen. ONLY display it on the screen during a transition to the status where you want it set.

Open any impacted issue in the Jira issue view, and then transition them using the 'Fix Resolution' transition. This will reset the field to the desired resolution for all these issues. Alternatively, you can use a Bulk Operation to edit all the impacted issues and transition them using the 'Fix Resolution' transition.

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.

A JIRA issue can be resolved in a number of ways. The default resolution statuses are: Fixed, Duplicate, Won't Fix, Incomplete, and Cannot Reproduce. However, new resolution statuses may be added. The resolution status of issues is on a JIRA Global level, which means that one configuration is used for all projects.

As the Resolution Field is a Required Field, if it is added to a "Default" Screen, newly created or edited issues will be in a Resolved state as the field would be populated by the Default Resolution Value.

Resolution is a system Field and it's always mandatory. You cannot make it optional from Configuration scheme. You need to remove it from create/edit screen and try creating a task. Try removing it and create a new task.
