Portfolio: % complete using issue status

[Michael McFarland]

We have been using Portfolio for about six weeks and JIRA for years. In our workflow we have a "ready for release" state that is the equivalent of resolved/closed in that we supply the value to the resolution field. I've update all the transitions to this state to use the resolve issue screen and am firing a resolve issue hook on transition. However, no matter what I do, the % complete on JIRA Portfolio only seems to update if I close the issue. I thought that this status was based on the resolution field. Am I missing something?

Is the resolution field using the same colour (Green) just like Closed does within the workflow? Just a guess that, that might be the trigger?

[Michael McFarland]

(facepalm) YES! That was it. This status has to be in the done category on the status edit screen. Thanks so much Darren.

Haha, no problem at all buddy :)

Strange that the color is the trigger -- according to the Portfolio progress tracking page (https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiraportfolioserver/status-and-progress-tracking-715263088.html#Statusandprogresstracking-Resolved), the resolved field just has to be not empty.. "If the issue is resolved ( Resolution field is not empty), the progress is 100%." when there are no sub-issues.
